They "don't have" the technical expertise or energy to avoid it.

    That's very true. I don't mean they should run their own Linux on their TV's or something, I'm more like...not having a smart TV at all must be better than this abomination.

    So I have one of these pos "onn." Wal Mart brand Roku tvs. It was legitimately the cheapest 40 something inch tv (250bucks?) they had to offer, I did not realize that the smart part isn't like an input it's the home screen every time u power it on. Had I known, I would have spent up to 100 bucks MORE to just have a regular ass TV. Live and learn I suppose.
