They kept telling me that capitalism gave us choices.
Lol.
technically, it's not capitalism but free market that provides choices. capitalism kinda fucking hates free market.
You do have choices.
Right now you can have Samsung adware or LG adware.
They both want to sell your content watching data, demographic data, and stuff ads in the tv like Roku does at a layer you can't do anything about.
Even not connecting my tv to the internet, if I buy next year's tv it's going to have this shit pre installed and nagging.
I have a new LG OLED which is great, but it took a lot of tweaking in the setting slto get it to work without going to the homepage and the quick settings still waste space showing my the wifi isn't connected (which it will never ever be).
