Reddit users thevincentasteroid and MMD3_ posted about an auto-playing video ad (with sound) on the home screen. The ad is for Chicken Tender Wraps from Carl’s Jr. When it begins auto-playing, it pushes all the other UI elements out of focus and goes almost full-screen, returning to the home screen after it has played through once.

Step 1. Open window.

Step 2. Grab TV.

Step 3. Launch TV.

Step 4. Start pricing monitors.

Or just don't connect the TV to your network. It has inputs. Use an input device you have control over. The end.

a Chromecast is one of those inputs. And it has been a nice product. The reason people are mad is that they Google changed the product after they bought it significantly.

and yes. Today the only reasonable good TV is a computer monitor connected to a device I have control over.

But then how would I express my outrage by hyperbole?

Or get a decent TV?

My LG oled has options to disable ads, and I never see ads when using the apps or the menu that launches them.

I still have a PC connected to the TV, but many of the TV’s apps do a good job.
