The smart people don’t connect these “smart” devices to the network

I don't even let my smart TV connect to the internet. Why would I help it fetch ads for me lol

That means you don't get any of the benefits of it being a smart TV. Which is fine, but unlike a washing machine there are actually obvious benefits for a smart TV.

Not like there's a choice to not buy a smart TV.

Everything comes internet enabled, runs software that won't receive updates, comes with a shitty phone app, and some sort of subscription service either to enable features or auto buy product.
