Most people just dont care or notice. They go to work get money and then go to walmart snd buy whatever is cheapest. Theyre used to ads everywhere so they buy the ad infected tv and dont even notice anything wrong, ads are just a mundane fact of life.

i wish people were less tolerating about this shit. most likely users of those tvs will grumble a little at first and then just accept and eventually disparage anyone for speaking against it.
people should get way more angry about this publicly.
just think about how things used to be 50 or 100 years ago. Having a huge scandal could actually end someones career or put down a company. Now there is nothing shitty people and companies can’t do because everyone is so apathetic they wouldnt care if they themselves are the victim.

I suspect part of the lack of outrage is the fact that you don’t have to change your inputs much these days. If you only stream content from a gaming console with apps then you’re never changing the channel or the inputs. and if you ARE changing the channel, they could easily seem like just regular TV ads.
I don’t think the average 20 something or 30 something is channel surfing like they used to in the old days either way. If you’re changing a channel you likely know what you want to watch and what channel it’s on. So, each change of the channel is one or two ads every hour or so. because even with cable you have the cable based TV guide interface.

be more vocal about how shitty this kind of behavior is and show support to those who are vocal about it.
If small loud minority can have effect on things, loud majority has big effect. It could for example lead to having protections against this because politicans would start to feel like their position is threatened if they dont, and if enough people care then they actually might be.
What does it even cost to you to be vocal about something that is wrong? People do it all the time about stupid things too, so why not do it for things that might benefit you?
And i dont mean be vocal just about this particular tv brand pushing ads all the time. i think its obvious but i have noticed it apparently isnt often.

and when you do call it out, other consumers make fun of you and tell you you’re being annoying and to get with the times
