    I don’t buy it. Before “smart” TVs, you could get TVs just as cheap.

      TVs have improved in quality since smart TVs we’re introduced. However, it’s kind of like everything else. They have stopped producing the old dumb stuff.

      It’s another reason why I advocate that we should compensated anytime our personal information is used or harvested.

      I couldn’t get a TV anywhere near the size of the roku for the same price. 350 bucks for something 3x as large as a 400 dollar boob tube in 2002. Also it still has no ads.
