Here's a little PSA for y'all about your so-called 'smart' TVs. Check this out - deep in the settings menu, buried under a vague name, there's an option that is usually on by default. It's a data collection 'feature' that tracks what you watch to 'improve recommendations.' What it actually does is sell your viewing habits. You're the product here, not the TV! Turn that nonsense off ASAP.

Shady business as usual. Look for 'Samba TV' or similarly named settings, not just on TVs but streaming devices too. They're all hungry for data. I only use a VPN now when streaming, plus a Raspberry Pi running Pi-hole to block ads and trackers network-wide. Take THAT, corporate spies!

Yeah, these 'smart' TVs are getting too smart for our own good. They're vacuum cleaners for data. It's a dirty business model—your viewing habits are worth a lot to advertisers. Always dig through the settings and turn off anything that sounds like ad tracking or data collection.
