What kind of soulless automaton can write corp-speak garbage like this?
I wonder what Adam Bergman would think if his dentist took a piss in his mouth and then charged him for “industry-leading oral antiseptics”.
The kind of automaton that made a business plan thinking they can sell user data but is realizing that they can’t do that effectively.
I heard from a bird that heard from a bird that Netflix barred these companies from collecting and selling movie watching statistics Or they’ll yank the app from their tvs. I’d not be surprised if this is becoming more prevalent with Disney plus and other apps becoming far more walled up and putting in similar clauses (and more more and more people spend their time in these apps instead of cable ). Thus they’re desperately trying to find crappier revenue streams now that they have established tvs to be as cheap as they are now. Vizio isn’t some dumb corporate, im sure they know what such a move will do to their brand image.
We have an amazing ability to justify things that benefit us. I often wonder how many people in advertising and marketing can justify what they do for a living, whereas I view much of that industry as a blight on society.
If you need a large screen, you can still buy a smart TV but simply never connect it to the internet. Or better yet, take it apart and rip out the wifi antenna so it won't connect to your neighbor's open network on its own.
With Facebook, it's not that simple. You're either on there, or missing out and inconveniencing others.
As in, would refuse to function unless you do?
The Romans did it first
Or, as it seems in this case, they wait until after the TV has developed a good reputation and sold in large numbers, before enabling the ads.
