I don't even understand the pitch? you have the disc playing, in your hands, your ownership, no buffering, no subscription required. and they're saying....hey do you want a worse experience?

Just don't connect smart TVs to the internet and boom, dumb TV.

Except my old TV would still try to load ads even though it wasn't connected to the Internet. Made it run slow as shit. When the screen died conveniently right after the warranty period, I just switched to using a monitor to watch stuff.

If my TV is full of functionnality I don't want, I called it bloated. And I don't like bloated TV more than smart TV.
