There is one TV that is free because it comes with banner ads across the bottom, and a camera to verify that people are watching.
Nah, it's still not free. They'll charge you a monthly fee for that TV (only $10 a month for a $400* TV, so convenient!). A higher tier of subscription lets you turn off the banner ads. Through a menu in the TV settings that they mislabelled, and it tends to get hidden behind the banner ads. And with every weekly update, it turns back on.
What a garbage model of selling a TV and subscription
It’s the Rent-A-Center demographic they’re targeting, my friend.
Oh boy, more business targeting people who don't have good money management skills
Yup.
I used to use NetZero. Free dialup internet that injected ads into your web browser because HTTPS wasn't common back then.
