minus-square@WorkIsSlowlinkEnglish33•1 year agoI just looked it up and they charge up to $1000 if you block ads or tamper with it. They have all sorts of crazy requirements too.
minus-squareEcstatic_equilibriumlinkfedilink11•1 year agoIf that’s the case, then it’s cheaper to just buy a 50” tv. Way cheaper than the $1000 they make you pay
minus-squareNeatolinkfedilink8•1 year agoThat’s the point. If you can afford even a $400 tv, you won’t buy this. It’s for people for whom $1000 is unobtainable. So they’ll watch the ads rather than risk a lawsuit and penalty.
