- Nextgrid 4y agoYou underestimate how many people buy that ~3k TV on credit and for whom an extra ~150 bucks for an Apple TV is actually non-trivial money. In fact that's the reason these ads are there - a lot of people can't be convinced to use an external device to escape them. If everyone used Apple TVs/etc, there would be no built-in ads because it's just not worth the trouble.
- kitsunesoba 4y agoIf I were in that position I think I'd buy a TV that's lower priced but still quite good ($1.5-$2.5k) and spend the difference on a good streaming box. The value per dollar is much better that way.
- hdjjhhvvhga 4y agoI agree $150 might be a lot, but you can get these things even under $30: https://www.amazon.com/Android-Streaming-Control-Assistant-100026240/dp/B0B75QMC7X/ https://www.amazon.com/Android-Streaming-Control-Assistant-1... And Chromecast is arounf $50. That's really not a high price for being able to control your own TV.
