Are people buying smart TVs because there is something to like about them or is that the only kind of TV available in some parts of the world?

Despite privacy and bloat concerns from some people online, I don’t think a single person I know would buy a TV if it couldn’t run streaming apps on it.

@simple @JimVanDeventer with all the piracy risk, I would NEVER connect my TV to internet. All IOT poses a serious risk of both piracy and privacy.

It sounds from the way you phrased this like you feel thatevery IOT device is just a ticking time bomb waiting to become a malware and privacy nightmare.
If so, as someone with some Cybersecurity expertise, I just want to say that is a reasonable opinion supported by all of the data that I’m aware of.

Some parts of the world? Are you saying there are still parts of the world in 2025 where you can buy modern dumb-tvs?
