I used to be annoyed by an old Samsung "smart" TV ('15 or '16 model). Most things didn't work on it, yet it kept demanding my data and playing ads constantly. So I built my first pi-hole, it stopped most of the ads but broke the TV in the process. Long story short, I went down every rabbit hole I could and no solutions were found. Granted, different brand and era so maybe you'll have better luck...but the solution for me was simply to ditch the apps altogether
