Great. Gonna have to get rid of my LG oled now huh?
Just castrate its access to internet. Initially you can full block it, in time people will figure out which domains need to be blocked. If they can't upgrade your firmware, they can't install these new features.

this change will solidify that I will never buy an LG product if they all have that shit
I have an LG monitor, but never again. This is absurd. If money is all they understand then I hope they have a rude awakening on account of this.
Just vote with your wallets people. There are others that don't do this and nothing will turn them around after huge drop in sales. Remember when HP wanted to prevent people from recycling their toner. They had to reverse that decision. Or when Canon decided that your printer must be always online and then they had to teach people how to break their own printers. Lessons learned.
My LG TV from 2017 that's not getting any updates anymore feels great this time of the year :D
