My tcl doesn’t have ads. Probably because it already knows I’ll ignore them and it’s selling that data

TLC was discussed above https://lemmy.world/comment/5181873

Your comment sounds like you might already be aware, but maybe you were just assuming it’s doing the same spying most smart TVs are probably doing.

Mine is Roku based so the article doesn’t apply, but yes I’m still assuming they are pulling and selling data to subsidize up front cost and fluff profits
