Oh no! Whoever could have foreseen this awful turn of events! Amazon would never (checks notes) stuff ads down our throats.
An Apple TV box doesn’t have ads.
That's only because they don't have the market share. If Apple ever becomes dominant in this arena they would absolutely take the opportunity.

I'm pretty sure everybody saw this coming. Well, everybody with any brains in their head.
I'll keep buying dumb TVs for as long as they're around to thrift for. There's going to be plenty of flat screen dumb TVs for a lifetime.
This is literally the oldest trick in the book, haha.
Have you seen the TV that has a second screen that just plays ads
And apparently has cameras and sensors that detect if you cover up the 2nd screen. Truly dystopian, but also they weren't exactly hiding these features if people bought the TVs...
