It's weird that people don't get more upset about ads in an OS they paid for.
Who said I paid for it?
I didn't mean you specifically. It was more in general.
In Windows, the ads can be easily disabled. I still don't like it, but it only adds about 5 minutes to the setup process and then it doesn't bother me again.
Android TV's entire interface is ads, it gets worse with every forced update and there is basically nothing that you can do about. I'm looking for an alternative to my ancient ad-filled Nvidia Shield (which didn't have any ads day 1...), but I don't think anything else with a controller based interface can easily run Steam Link, Kodi, Retroarch, and still pass the DRM checks for 4k Netflix and Disney+.
When they added the first banner ad, I sideloaded Aptoide TV and installed F-Launcher. I never looked back.
