Voting with money is not going to stop this as all major players with high-end devices are pushing this. On top of it, this information is usually a nice surprise after you already bought and setup the device.
To even further push the boundaries, they are adding (more) advertising to devices that have been purchased years ago!
But from another angle, I think majority of population would not mind targeted advertising if that means their TV are much cheaper. If we think about it, it is kind of ridiculously cheap you can get a 4K 40" LCD TV delivered to you for under $300.
Isn't this the market working as intended? Apple is charging more because they want $$$ but decided to obtain that $$$ in a privacy-respectful manner.
Second being iPhone users continues to grow. Although at a much slower pace. So there must be some kind of reason people are still jumping from Android to iPhone.
Ok, but also on the internet, radio and in newspapers.
It would be more similar to your ISP injecting advertisement in your traffic and displaying it on top of the websites you visit rather than advertisement in the website.
The issue is deeper than advertisement itself. It's that it is unsolicited pushed into devices that are meant to consume other content.
