From their website:

Now, all smart TVs come with ads. But you still pay for the TV. All of that changes today. During the signup process we ask questions about you and your household to optimize your ad experience. Brands in turn, pay for the non-intrusive ad on the Smart Screen. That’s how you get Telly free. Plain and simple. It's time you got cut in on the deal.

They do have a point though. Is there any smart TV maker that don't put ads on their TV?

My LG TV doesn't have ads

LG TVs seems to have ads too: https://lgads.tv/

What's your specific TV model? I've been looking for 4K TV without ads and can't find anything good.

Buy a commercial grade non-smart display and it won't have any of that shit.

It's just a big monitor w inputs and no apps. Never connect it to a network.

That said, I have been using Visio my last few personal displays, don't use the built in apps, and run everything through my playstation. Haven't had any issues.
