You know what? I’m considering just going back to the basics. A dumb phone, a dumb tv, a dumb remote, back to basic cable, canceling all my subscriptions, and just staying on the fediverse for my internet fixes. Fuck all this noise, it isn’t making our lives better, just more fucking stressful. How the fuck can these companies get away with this? I’ll answer my own question. We let them.
I only buy dumb TVs. I'd rather plug a chromecast or kodi box into a dumb TV then deal with everything smart TVs.

For the most part in the West you can still buy a smart TV, connect to it via HDMI, and never connect it to the Internet and it works fine. In China there are already TVs that have to be registered before they'll even start working as a TV. I'm sure it's a matter of time before this comes to the western world.
