Comment on I want an AI TV that blocks all forms of advertising.

You’ll never be able to buy that at like a Walmart of Best Buy type retailer. TVs these days are already just spy machines to serve ads. It’s a lovely idea, but it’ll never happen.

TVs are cheap right now like really cheap. I seriously doubt they’re selling them much above cost and making the money back on the advertising and information gathering.
I don’t think any of the TV manufacturers would bulk too much at selling you a TV but it’s going to be at a price of around the lifetime value of your watching habits. You can get a 50-60" reference monitor for about 10 grand. If there was a market for it Best buy would probably sell it.

Yep.
I’ve previously used PiHole and my smart TV got so much faster because it couldn’t load the BS.
Just using NextDNS or any other ad blocking DNS makes it work better.
