Probably because you should care about the fuckton of TVs being sold and in circulation with software that is just some of the worst privacy violations bundled together in a case behind a big LCD/OLED panel. There is no option to avoid it and probably no option to install something else on the hardware you bought and therefor should be yours to do whatever you want to with it. I even read that some connect to open wifi access points without passwords to reach the internet.

But that’s what I mean. I don’t use my TV as a smart TV, it’s plugged into a device where I can control the privacy settings via HDMI. No wifi, no apps being used, no connection to the outside world. That’s why I don’t care about DNS shenanigans with the TV, because I do them more comfortably on another device.

You not caring about the implications because you can avoid it in your own home could have come across as not helpful to the greater cause I guess.
I’m on a Crusade against people that won’t tet me watch TV without being part of a Crusade.
