This is why I buy my TV and never connect it to the internet. Between the invasive conversation monitoring and ad spots on the menu, it's much better to buy an Apple TV / Nvidia Shield.
If you don't fall into that category, you don't have a choice. Things that may be irritating or upsetting to you, if they make money or drive some number that helps a manager get a promotion internally, you're simply out of luck when it comes to software.
Products aren't built for individual users, they are built for massive collections of users that generate revenue.

For the second part, 100%. I started years ago already collecting my own flac files, and I'm quite careful on picking the best mastering if possible. In 2024, finally, some of the latest remasters are great (like the new Steely Dans from Bernie Grundman). But between 2000-2015 or something a remaster of an album was usually just compressed to the maximum and made very _loud_. For some of my favorite albums I have mul…

This is for me over two decades of hard work and deep interest into music. I highly value my collection.

My lg works great. No additional remote, no extra cable.
