Everyone is moving into the ad business it seems. YouTube just added pause, but now LG wants to add ads to the screensaver of devices that are already purchased and in your home. Just as I shouldn’t have to wait for a minute for a BMW ad to play before I drive my BMW car, we shouldn’t be bombarded with these intrusions in our lives. In a world where we buy something for cash, the terms should not be changed later. Features that serve no purpose for us, shouldn’t be called features. There is a feature in the menu to turn off “Screen Saver Promotions” for now, but who knows how long that will stick around, or what other new “features” will be arriving next.
LG’s TV business is heightening focus on selling ads and tracking.
