The world we live in isn't just dystopic, it isn't just stupid, trying to describe all the ways it sucks just makes for a really boring story.

This is why I never connect a TV to the Internet. I usually get an Android TV (EDIT: note NOT "Google TV") box that I can mod to my heart's content to run my apps on. If that ever stops being an option, I'll connect the TV to my router, but with the router set to block Internet access to everything except what's needed to cast to it with pi-hole or similar playing the enforcer role.
