  Sure they want to but they let you disable all of this in the settings. Also a TV with no internet likely will be an unable to serve adds.

    “likely” lol as bad as the adpocalypse has been, at least things aren’t pre-loaded with big-standard ads for offline delivery

    That’s what i say; use the TV as dumb display or deal with enshitification now or later.

    Btw, i have an LG too but i always understood them letting you disable stuff them just anticipating GDPR lawsuits. But seems it’s the same in US? Maybe they really want you not having a bad experience.

      Pretty sure it’s a business decision. The risk of showing ADs and getting a bad reputation

      I mostly like my LG tv, and it’s nice that I can use it without agreeing to their T&C or logging in. It does really piss me off that if I wanted to change picture settings (brightness, color, etc) I’d have to turn their adware settings back on.
