This is why, for years, I’ve been trying to point out that “if you don’t like it, just don’t buy it” isn’t good enough. Boycotts aren’t enough; we have to force the law to change to prohibit the abusive corporate behavior.
I agree 100%.
Nothing we do is good enough because it’s a game of cat and mouse. They do something, people react. They do something else, they react.
Right now I own a Hisense because it’s 75" and cost me $300. It has a decent enough picture and sound. Works for all of my uses.
It has never seen the internet nor will it. I use my 6 year old shield for apps, mostly of which is my own content.
In case they decide to use any subsidiary or or partner tech company to daisy chain internet (I don’t put it past any of these guys) I have a blacklist on my firewall that catches most stuff trying to go out.
I have done everything I can, but it won’t be enough at some point.
They won’t stop until laws pass that stop them (actually stop them and not slap on the wrist).

Boycotts only work in competitive markets where there is real differentiation between the choices.
