>These days, if you sign up for a new streaming service, you generally have two options: Either pay a massive premium for an ad-free experience, or endure frequent commercial breaks and all the sneaky tracking that comes with ad targeting. Web data aggregator Bright Data has been pitching streaming service operators on an alternative approach for apps running on Samsung’s Tizen and LG’s webOS platform — one that comes without ads and sky-high fees. All publishers have to do to unlock a new revenue source is integrate the company’s Bright SDK into their TV apps and convince viewers to opt into Bright’s monetization network.

Connecting things like TV's to the internet is dumb as hell.

I got a Roku, which yeah is probably doing all that AI shit but none of TVs are on the internet. That is dumb. Don't need some vendor crippling the TV to force me to buy another one.

The article mentions some Roku apps are doing the same thing. I just have a old PC connected so I can use it for streaming and such.

“None of the tv’s are on the internet”

lol. Serious? Every Roku is on the internet. And that is the “tv” Any monitor that has Roku becomes a tracking point. Single pixel tracking is a thing, Vizio got sued for it.

Maybe track all the call backs that Roku does. It’s a challenge blocking all of it.

Cityname.roku.com College station Austin Amarillo. No idea Why they picked so many Texas cities.
