      A lot of devices are doing away with physical remotes in favour of a shitty cell phone app. It’s cheaper, and they get the added benefit of selling the user data to have the necessary infrastructure pay for itself.

        They’re probably also double dipping by:

        Using referral links to get a cut of the sales; and,

        Selling the data to third parties.
