We’re talking about ads and privacy on TV’s mate…
Comment on People regret buying Amazon smart displays after being bombarded with ads
selokichtli@lemmy.ml 2 weeks agoALL the shitty stuff, exclusively from Amazon? Google is part of the game, the difference is in their business model.

Okay, buddy. I think my comment is more about privacy than ads, bit it covers both.

I agree …
Everyone else was talking about one thing, and you acted like I was talking about a bunch of other things.
That’s why you’re confused, we were talking about ads, and you got upset we weren’t having another discussion.
Now why are antelopes the super ungulates?
See how little sense that makes?

No. As a user of both Amazon and Google devices (with screens/sticks), Amazon is far more aggressive in their advertising practices. As the other guy said, neither is ad-free out of the box, but Amazon devices will literally make your screensaver/lock screen a full screen ad (even on your TV). Google just has a home screen ad about something that’s going to play on streaming, usually.
If you want NO ads, set up DNS ad blocking or get an Apple TV and use that for streaming. But again, Amazon’s devices are FAR more aggressive about advertising as much as possible. My father has one of those Echo Show things that’s a speaker with a rotating screen attached to it. It’s playing ads almost all the time.

I do not have anything from these MFs that’s not jailbroken or hacked. They are partners, not competitors. But sure, as long as you get less ads for now, go with the other, I guess.
