It’s pretty cool how things we purchase can just lose functionality at the drop of a hat.

It's a toss up, but it pretty much only shows just photo/link ads. The one that they've really been pushing recently is that Disney platformer game on the Switch for some reason.

Yea but you still willingly put a little billboard in your house and you even paid them to do it 🤷‍♂️

Sorry, what I meant was that the ads are extremely easy to ignore, and you can immediately swipe through them if you want to. I use mine exclusively as an alarm clock anyways.
