Yeah do this. Or just don't use your Smart TV for apps. Connected TV is the next big thing in advertising - this isn't going away anytime soon.You can turn targeted advertising off on almost, if not all tvs.
I had no idea this was a thing... So you get ads even if you turn it off? Is there a way to not allow the TV to show any ads at all?I have targeted ads turned off on my stuff, so I constantly get ads for things like that. It just serves you the most popular ads, and Joe Rogan is one of Spotify's biggest things
Youtube has been giving me ads for Ben Shapiro, Candace Owens, and other lesser alt-right douchebags. I say "stop seeing this ad", nothing. I go out of my way to block their channels, nope, still get ads for those very same channels. It's so utterly annoying, not just that I have to keep seeing them, but because I know millions of others are getting these ads.
...not buy a smart TV? The whole reason you got the TV you have for the price you paid is because baked in to the cost is the fact that they can show you ads. Expect to pay a premium for a TV that doesn't have smart features. You can also disconnect your TV from the internet, but your TV will probably constantly bug you about connecting itI had no idea this was a thing... So you get ads even if you turn it off?

Yeah but like I said, if I'm getting it, that means millions of others (who might not know their con) are getting them too.
I see. Back when I was looking for a 4k screen a couple of years ago, I preferred to buy a large 32 inch monitor and use my laptop/PS4/Chromecast for any streaming and media consumption rather than getting a TV. In my opinion, most TVs at the time were far too large for my small flat....not buy a smart TV?

You can also build something like a Pi-hole to block ads on a network-wide basis.
Show me the fucking receipts. Round the time where smart TVs were coming in, non-smart TVs were mostly cheaper. The price of TVs hasn't reduced with any significance since then. Maybe OLED TVs, but that has nothing to do with smart capabilities....not buy a smart TV?

"A premium for a TV that doesn't have smart features", give me a break, i bought a decent sized, decent quality dumb-TV five years ago that was cheap as heck.
and by 2011 you could get that for $500 on a dumb plasma (I know because my family got one lol)When plasma first released I think I know someone who paid 5,000usd for a 55 inch

That TV knows all your media habits, so maybe you're just the ideal audience for Joe Rogan, OP.
the point was that smart TVs didn't bring down price like another poster suggested. the technologies became dirt cheap over time with widespread panel productionNeither of those price points have any meaning without context. You can buy stupidly cheap large screen TVs today and buy stupidly expensive TVs today as well.
I just got it. It was really minimal IMO. I really just block out those top right notifications. Was more a Spotify app ad that mentioned Joe Rogan than an ad for him. But it was just a small text notification that passed so quick it really didn't feel all that invasive. Annoying to get it at all but w/e
Yeah I got the same thing on my LG CX this morning.I've never seen it do anything remotely like that tbh. It just popped up in the corner of my screen and was like "download Spotify to listen to podcasts like The Joe Rogan Experience" with a click here button.
I don't like this. :|

And my point is spouting off two random prices doesn't really prove one way or another that smart TV functionality with ads has or has not impacted the price. You're just spouting off two different price points with no context. I'm not saying it is but neither of your points prove or disprove that because they lack context.
I find this to be a pretty meaningless argument. I think what's more salient is that TVs with the best panels come bundled with Smart TV features. You'd be hard pressed to find a television with the panel quality of the LG C9 and CX, HDMI 2.1, and no internet features to speak of.
