I have a Shield TV and I really despise this change. I bought a device that did NOT show ads on the home screen, now it does. How is that not... it just should NOT be allowed.
Show me ads in YouTube, show me ads in whatever other app, but not my home screen. There's a difference. The home screen is MINE, not Google's.
- theturtletalks 5y agoGoogle will chock this up to "staying" competitive. The Fire TV and Samsung Smart TVs have had ads on the menu for a while now. Ads on the home screen takes it further. If this was nipped in the bud, it would not have made it this far. People are slowly realizing these commissions don't care about consumers, just making it seem they do.

- utopiah 5y ago> The home screen is MINE, not Google's. Android is owned by Alphabet (or Google if you prefer) and you decided to buy a device that runs their OS with their services that are not open source. You probably didn't even pay for the OS. What makes you think it is yours?
- HenryKissinger 5y agoTIL I should create my own operating system from scratch if I don't want advertisements on my smart television. And people wonder why Congress wants to break up FAANG
- eitland 5y ago> What makes you think it is yours? That we paid for it in the store? Nowhere did it say "free OS included" so it is entirely reasonable to think that some of the price was for the included OS and software at the time which has now been substantially degraded.
