The same time, it's a bit sad that people are doing this and putting this much effort into a toxic product. I don't mind the fire stick/tv, and DNS rules but if it gets too much I just won't buy a tv and get rid of it. I get that it's a nice piece of furniture and such, but if it's hostile, expensive and after a few years becomes worthless - why bother. I'll fight by not purchasing a tv.

It's possible that buying the TV and removing the toxisity is more effective - you get the subsidised price, but the manufacturer never makes the ad money back.
