    Unfortunately I think its becoming the norm for “smart” devices to have adds and bloatware. Honestly, on my next TV adventure I’m either getting a non-smart tv or never connecting it to the internet and just using a mini PC to view content. This topic makes me inner Louis Rossmann come out lol (he even covered this topic too)

    Do you have a premium Google account? If not that’s probably why you’re seeing ads, although you don’t say what kind of ads they are.

    My samsung TV got an update that made it start playing some samsung TV stream every time I turn it on and it slows the TV to a crawl while I try to navigate to what I want to watch. Terrible update. Before it would be on the main menu but with whatever streaming app I was using last behind the menu and didn’t lag to death.

    My Vizio soundbar likewise also got an obnoxious update. It went from being a soundbar that just plays what i clicked on my TV to something that pushes obnoxious ‘stream this with Vizio’ push messages to the corresponding app. I blocked it from sending notifications but it’s annoying…

    You are a soundbar, I want no input from you on what I want to watch. You are a TV, I want you to display what I click and not force auto play episodes of Medium from the 1990s.
