      Just don’t connect smart TVs to the internet. That’s all you have to (not) do

        Too much of a gamble. What if someone already did once and it uses the cached ads? What if they have some preloaded?

        Better financially support products that never have ads and that way demonstrate demand.

        From what I have heard, this is not true for all brands. Some won’t work without being connected. Shouldn’t be legal, but here we are.

          Yes. I’ve heard some brands will search for nearby devices of the same brands that are already connected to the internet so that even if YOU didn’t connect the TV to WiFi, it still calls home/gets ads.
