This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Wasn't there news lately that LG wants to display ads in pause?

Sure they want to but they let you disable all of this in the settings. Also a TV with no internet likely will be an unable to serve adds.

That's what i say; use the TV as dumb display or deal with enshitification now or later.

Btw, i have an LG too but i always understood them letting you disable stuff them just anticipating GDPR lawsuits. But seems it's the same in US? Maybe they really want you not having a bad experience.

I mostly like my LG tv, and it's nice that I can use it without agreeing to their T&C or logging in. It does really piss me off that if I wanted to change picture settings (brightness, color, etc) I'd have to turn their adware settings back on.
