> I wonder what that stupid Rakuten TV button on my remote for "my" Samsung TV cost Rakuten to put there. I don't want a hardcoded quickbutton.
It's basically mandatory for Netflix at this point. Unless you're a very major provider they really want Netflix will not certify a device unless there's a Netflix button on it.
I haven't seen any dashboard ads on it yet but that is probably becouse there is no regional service yet where I live. I wonder if this is worth it for Samsung in the long term to piss their customers off and get the image of a cheap rippoff brand.
