My TV burned out a few months ago and we got a cheap vizio. We stream everything from another device so maybe that's the solution, but I haven't seen any of these ads.

Pihole can block all this nonsense.
Didnt noticed ads on youtube with smarttube https://smarttubeapp.github.io/ or https://github.com/polymorphicshade/Tubular ;)
imho adb works wonders debloating many smartTVs. mine shows zero ads outside of commercial tv breaks. not even suggestions for amazon shows or anything in the dashboard. smarttube,kodi etc are just great!
People don’t even like ad block on their computers because it doesn’t look right
In past generations they would use half their monitor for toolbars
do we have ads in computer monitors yet? monitors often have mediocre speakers so people that weren't going to bring their own sound system have that option
The reason monitors are delayed is because they need a way to work around the commercial market. TVs in commercial settings were already more expensive
is this a new trend? last time i bought a tv was 2019 and it doesnt even have a menu
