For years, we've been avoiding this whole problem. We have a dumb TV hooked up to a computer. The computer doesn't even have a fancy couch-friendly interface installed. It's just a computer. And therefore, it literally plays all media we want, and if we prefer, it blocks ads and plays music too. The computer doesn't spy on us because we control it, and websites only spy on us to the degree that we're unable to prevent. (pihole, ublock, etc)
