Disconnecting my smart TV from the internet was the best move
Original: The best thing I did to my smart TV was disconnect it from the internet
A tech writer argues that cutting a smart TV off from the internet improved the viewing experience, citing the usual complaints: intrusive ads, sluggish software, privacy concerns and constant tracking. Instead, the TV is used as a dumb screen fed by external streaming devices, which are faster and more reliable. The piece reflects a wider frustration with bloated smart TV interfaces and has resonated with readers who feel their televisions have become ad platforms.
Why now: Growing frustration with ads, tracking and slow software on smart TVs makes the idea of 'dumbing down' a TV feel relevant.
