Tv did take a huge dip in price (completely unrelated to the fact the majority of people were watching content on their phones or computer screens I'm sure) so literally every article uses them, the one thing that's decreased in price, as a comparison point to show stuff isn't getting more expensive.

    The main reason TVs have dropped in price is because under surveillance capitalism the TV watches you. On a lot of models more money is made from all of the spyware and adtech that comes with TV than from the sale of the TV itself.

    Interactive TV sets will be watching us, just as we watch them. They will also report back to the beast at computer headquarters. Our telephone conversations will be automatically wire tapped and transcripted by the National Security Agency
