As soon as the ads appeared I voted with my wallet and ditched my Shield for an Apple TV. So far I don’t have any complaints.

  You didn't vote with your wallet, you already bought the shield. Then you bought another device with closed firmware from another company with their own ad service.

    Sure I did. I stopped using the device that was displaying ads for services that I don’t subscribe to. Google will no longer receive ad revenue from me. So far on my Apple TV I’ve only seen promos (“ads”) for movies/shows on services that I already subscribe to. That is within my personal comfort zone. I wish that I could replace it with a little computer running Linux, but it’s difficult to find compatible hardware and I don’t have the time or patience to fuss around with it right now.
