For years Hisense has been a highly recommended brand for mid-tier TVs on (relatively) objective review sites like rtings.com. Their customers don't deserve bad things to happen to them. And the Anti-Chinese sentiment is especially weird in the context of advertising, as though the West was spared from intrusive ads prior to this.
When did we start calling things "residential proxies" as opposed to "botnets"? I feel like the latter term, while perhaps not as descriptive, has a much better "this is evil" message.
It's not a botnet. The fact that you're trying to use that term because you prefer the emotions it gives you instead of a different term based on reality is all anyone should need to reject your suggestion
Yea instead of blaming the company for pulling crap like that let's shame the owners of the hardware they paid for because of course that'll help, yeah let's blame each other instead because at least that way we're not blaming the holy corporate overlords
Be happy they're only showing you ads and not implanting malware into your network or turning it into a residential proxy.
