I don't remember when I watched the telly at home previously. Most of my entertainment are games and then some YouTube and movies not so often (lurking in friend's online streaming services or googling "watch x for free").
Stopped watching the television when too many ads erupted even between the movies that were my last interest in this service.
Most of my telly shows I see nowadays are at a friend's place, and I'm every time annoyed about the amount of ads.
Maybe if they werent all packed full of preinstalled shit that takes up what measily space is available, didn't force ads into the menus, and actually had real smart features not the half assed bullshit they put out.. People might upgrade TVs..
Also.. The content just isn't there these days. Movies are crap and rehashes of the same old shit, series are generic and characterless and even music sounds shitter than it used to be.
Fuck all your media whether its social or propaganda you bunch of nosy data mining cunts.. The next phase is going to be worse with empty AI generated shit with zero originality.
Go back to selling "dumb" sets and I'd buy 4 brand new, big TVs right now. Seriously, I would replace both of my existing TV's and finally get ones for the other major rooms in my house almost immediately. But I won't, because all you can get now are smart TVs and smart TVs are just fucking awful.
I wouldn't mind basic TVs being sold again, but you can just buy any smart TV and not connect it to the internet in order to have the functional equivalent of a dumb TV. I always just use Rokus or other external streaming devices rather than the constantly out-of-date TV streaming apps native to the TV itself.
