This is definitely on the horizon and future generations won’t even be aware of a time when you didn’t pay a subscription for every aspect of life. (TikTok screencap)

    Here’s what RTINGS says about one of the Hisense TVs:

    Ads Yes

    Opt-out No

    Suggested Content in Home Yes

    Opt-out of Suggested Content No

    Unfortunately, like most TVs on the market, the smart interface contains ads, and you can’t disable them.

    And someone on another site has a video showing an ad playing as soon as their Hisense TV is turned on. The person posting says it doesn’t happen every time. And, maybe it’s disabled if you have it set to turn on using “input 2” or whatever your USB stick is connected to. But, an unskippable ad on start-up means I’m not going to risk buying a Hisense TV.
