Comment on Anon buys a TV without researching
Trollception@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks agoSure 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.
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.

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