LG TVs start showing ads on screensavers _ r_gadgets

Author: Alan Shore and Denise October 22, 2024 Duration: 8:32
A recent announcement that LG TVs will display ads on their screensavers has sparked outrage among Reddit users. Many are concerned about the implications of this decision, arguing that it represents a violation of privacy and an intrusion into their personal space, especially considering that they paid full price for their TVs. Some users are exploring ways to block ads, such as using Pihole or ad blockers, while others are opting to use external streaming devices like Roku or Apple TV to avoid the ads altogether. Some users are even considering avoiding LG TVs entirely, switching to other brands, or going back to "dumb" TVs. The issue has raised broader concerns about the increasing commodification of personal time and the ongoing battle for digital privacy in a world where technology is increasingly integrated into every aspect of life.
