So the only way to opt out of this hell is to kill your internet connection? That sucks!

I blocked the servers with my pihole. Coincidentally, my two smart TVs are the two most blocked devices on my network.

I really need to learn how to set that up.

It’s easier than ever these days. The hardest part is figuring out how to configure your router to point devices to it. Because router manufacturers love to bury that setting somewhere deep. For actually setting up the pihole, it’s usually just a matter of flashing the memory card with the right image, then finding some decent block lists. But even the block lists are easy to find nowadays.

No. On the Roku TV just go to:
Settings > Privacy > Select Smart TV Experience and disable “Use Info from TV Inputs”
