What kind of ads? I see recommendations for movies that I would have to purchase but not general ads in my Chromecast.

It's not like they're showing you ads about shoes or kitchen utensils. It's a TV appliance so.. what else did you expect? A blank screen with just the Netflix icon? Are the Netflix recommendations ads too?

This is your brain on ads.

Not really.

it's just that the tolerance towards unsolicited promotional material / ads varies from person to person.

It's not trolling.

They are ads, and I also would prefer a tastefully blank screen with none of them.

Just to add support to that post.

Call me old fashioned, but my TV should display exactly what I tell it to display and precisely nothing else.
