If its not more blatant ways to display ads or AI Google isn’t working on anything it would seem.

    And we’re back to what TV used to be, millions of ad-supported channels no one cares about except people who just want background noise. Time really is a flat circle.

      I have a Hisense and there isn’t actually a button to view TV off the antenna. It takes about 5 button presses to get there. Absolutely cooked.

      This Google Free TV thing is not TV by definition.

    is it more blatant than television has ever been? Like it or not, lots of people want free shit even if it’s injected with ads.

    To be fair that would help out a ton for the less technical users that aren’t too familiar with needing to browse and click through a ton of different menus just to get to something they can watch for free. This kind of stuff gets challenging for the older non-computing crowd.

    And honestly if these remotes are going to have a default “Netflix”, etc. button they may as well have a button for the default Google free channels.
