Yeah, but that’s not how most people use Smart TVs. Also, they’re still coming for you, next up they’ll try to insert ads via HDMI. and good luck finding a Smart TV with display port.
It’s a possibility with chromebooks because of the google ad network, but I can’t see why consoles, linux, mac, even windows tbh, has any incentive to support this. At best, they might make it an option, but there’s nothing in it for them. It actively makes their content look worse, while an ad supported OS like windows already has capability to place ads anyway.
Yeah. Apple is plenty evil but not having ads is, generally, part of their “premium feel.” There are exceptions to this, unfortunately, especially recently.
But I definitely don’t regret doing a factory reset on my LG TV and hooking up an Apple TV.
or using like 4g/5g network for ads for free, sucking up all the data bandwidth from smartphone users so they can make sure we got our daily ad dosage!

Hisense?
Yeah, and that is a very recent one from a not-that-well know company. Go figure!
They can’t add ads if they’re not connected to the ibternet
Displayport via USB-C could start gaining momentum.

$$$
Consoles are a shrinking market. If they were offered money by TV manufacturers to cooperate with putting more ads on it, they most certainly will.
And I suspect Microsoft/Windows will too. Apple might not, though.

That’s awful
Ads via HDMI shouldn’t work if the TV doesn’t have internet connection, by my understanding. So I do not see any problems there.
oh don’t worry, they’ll start participating in mesh networks with your neighbors’ smart devices and getting internet access that way

ANTI-CORPORATE PROPAGANDA DETECTED. PLEASE DRINK VERIFICATION CAN.I seem to recall reafing that smart TVs have a list of default passwords they use to try and connect to the to wifi networks they find…
So they try to brute force in to our wifis? Why no one sued them?!
Ads over HDMI are being worked on.
