Once again, trying to make this topic about you personally doesn’t work, doesn’t validate lazily considered scorn, and won’t validate doubling down on either.

lol, you're the one that's trying to say that I said that “no-one should care”
I've no idea what your point is. But you do you.

Ah, so it was the first case. You have a nice day, then.
I was responding to someone saying that their smart TV was full of adverts and how it's a requirement to block it. Where the convenience of the utility provided is greater than seeing an advert for a film on the menu page.
You've flipped it around to vulnerable people being surveilled by corporate/state level actors.
Why are Smart TVs singled out here? There's a tons of old Android phones that people use every day with sensitive information that are vulnerable to multiple exploits that will never get a patch.
Or Routers that never get a patch from their Vendor especially if it's a whitebox from an ISP and they've replaced it with a newer model.
It seems like Smart TVs have urban legends associated with them, I asked previously about the supposed "TV connecting to unsecured WIFI" thing that always comes up and nobody had any evidence:
