    I guess it comes down to who I want tracking me, no? I lack a Google account.

      I mean, there’s always the more private option of a Raspberry Pi or similar as a streaming box that you put Kodi or Jellyfin on.

        True. I isolated the LG and such in a DMZ so its at least not mapping my internals. And with it being isolated, all it knows is that I have a PS5 and I like murder mysteries and fantasy.

        I do have a spare Pi, though. Hmm.
