Here’s what I’d love to see go viral as a New Year’s resolution- every time what I am trying to read gets blocked by a pop up / pop over ad, I simply close the tab or window and move on.

If enough people do this, it will show up in both site and ad metrics.

How to break free from #smartTV #ads and #tracking

Smart TVs can feel like a dumb choice if you’re looking for #privacy , reliability, and simplicity.

Today’s TVs & #streaming sticks are usually loaded up with #advertisements & user tracking, making offline TVs seem very attractive. But ever since smart TV operating systems began making money, “dumb” TVs have been hard to find.

In response, we created this non-smart TV guide that includes much more than dumb TVs.
