- amelius 10mo ago12 years? I guess the complaining on HN didn't help much.
- userbinator 10mo agoMost people have not been paying much attention, and while I do remember some reporting of this on other tech news sites at the time, it was (understandably) mainly ignored by the mainstream media.

- Sohcahtoa82 10mo agoI don't expect the manufacturers to change. I do expect people to change though. How is it that it's been well known that smart TVs will show ads and spy on you for over 10 years, and yet people are still connecting their TVs to their WiFi rather than get a separate dedicated streaming device? I just don't get it. How are people still surprised to find their TV is spying and will show ads?
