If I hadn’t already disabled autoplays and blocked it from dialing home for updates, this might be a concern.
Lols :)
I complained about this to “support” a few days ago. A full screen ad before the home screen with the top 1/3 an ad and the bottom 1/3 ads.
Straight up told them I will pick another manufacturer this weekend.
I’m burned out on protecting myself from smart devices. Maybe just a dumb screen this round.
Edit: I have every single privacy setting set to off, but some update added a new category and defaults to on. Don’t know how long Amazon has been spying on me or what they took.
My device has autoplay off already. It may have stopped a full screen video ad, but there is a full screen picture ad instead.

They didn’t whatsoever. I expected that. They said they sent my complaint through so I hope I tickled a 0 into a 1 somewhere in their sea of data, but I don’t expect results.
Oh yeah, they followed up with an offer to buy a new TV. Like, that was a little cold there, dude.
Why do people still use those?
They’re cheap. That’s as far as some people think about it.
Easy to sideload apps and use it for streaming, and I’m too lazy to set up my *arr self hosted media server with jellyfin again.
