Ads and subscriptions are being expanded across LG hardware.

That’s the way everything is going. There are ways to protect yourself like running a pihole, but most people cannot do that themselves.
I wonder how long it will be for the subscription fatigue to reach the tipping point where companies face the reality they can't all have successful subscription services.
On my LG TV I have tried from time to time to switch to UK region (instead of Norway) to try to get more functionality. I did notice that when my region is Norway, I actually get an option to disable ads, and that option did not seem to exist for the UK region.
Possibly because ad laws are stricter in Norway?
Pretty sure I have that option in the US and I don’t think we have any ad laws lol
So it's only UK who has no escape from ads? lol
Ads and Subscription services are going to doom us all!
I should be able to drive a car, wash my clothes, bake a cake, microwave popcorn, grab a cold drink from the fridge, turn my air down, lock my door, etc....WITHOUT having to see an ad or pay for the correct temperature/feature etc!!!! IMO
I’ve never connected my LG TV to the network and never will. It’s a display and nothing more for my media center PC and gaming consoles. This right here is precisely why that is.
