This. We have not owned a TV since the very early 00s, when we realized they wanted us to pay in order to watch… ads. More and more of them.
When I moved, I just didn’t plug the TV in at the new place. Instead, I started using it exclusively as a monitor for my HTPC. Watching online videos on a bigger screen is just so much nicer. Besides, ublock origin is doing a good job blocking all the nonsense a smart TV is designed to show you. When visiting friends and family, I end up watching normal TV a little bit, and I can’t say I miss any of that.

It’s barely been two days…
Yeah my TV will never get internet access again. Using my computer with my TV as a screen is way better.
My TV set is a 7 year old Dell All-in-One PC running Linux Mint. It works great. It doesn’t try to sell me shit. Ads be hella blocked.
LibreELEC and Kodi say otherwise.
Just don’t connect your TV to the internet. I’ve been using it as a monitor for years.
Why would anybody connect their tv to the internet?
