Sounds like a class action lawsuit waiting to happen.
Imagine that you pay for an ad free streaming service through your roku, like HBO for example. And now you have ads streaming over it?
People will sue for a way to disable it over ad free paid content.
Also, this will lead to way more pirating. People are sick of advertisements.

Tower Records was my cult. I miss that place the most.
Oh damn! If the suckerburg empire is already censoring Pixelfed, wait until they find out about Loops.
Fakebook is not a social media site, it's a place to stalk and scam people, just like the other suckerburg tracking apps.
Install a Linux Distro. Connect to external monitor, plug power into wall.
Use it for a dedicated torrenting machine or use it as a test machine for whatever you like. If you kill it, whatever.
Otherwise I would just take that SSD out and recycle the machine.
I use my "smart" tv as a monitor to stream. It has never connected to the internet and it does not pester me.
It's always nice to read good news.
Not for a dumb tv but I own a newer Vizio. I actually use it as a huge desktop monitor through HDMI. The actual tv itself has never been connected to the internet. You could connect a streaming stick (roku, amazon, google) if you wanted to. I stream everything from the net. Vizio has a horrible "free" streaming tv service that tracks you. But you can still use the actual tv in other ways if you don't connect it to the net. It will act as a dumb tv.
Until we have a federal privacy law that allows us to opt out of being tracked on every device, you have to "work around" the problems.
I highly recommend The Try Channel, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCabq3No3wXbs6Ut-Pux6SzA/videos
They mostly "try" food but do a few other things as well. They are very funny. I watch this for the laughs and do learn things about the foods.
I really wish they were on Mastodon or Kbin.
Soy milk is a powerhouse of nutrition. I prefer ones that are unsweetened, or lightly sweetened and fortified to ramp it up.
And NO, you will not grow tits from Soy.
If that were true, no one would have silicone implants and we would have soy factories in every state.
It's really annoying. And the funny part is, it flip flops each time I visit. Comments on the right, comments below, right, below.
Google is famous for mucking things up.
Maybe someone should get User input for once.
