It doesn’t say the TV is only broadcast. Lots of people have smart TVs and use streaming services that also force ads upon you.

Depends. On some Smart TVs, if you try to mute advertisements on certain streaming platforms, it won’t let you. It will only go to half volume.

I don’t get why people on Lemmy care so much about either of them so passionately

Weirdos who feel the need to let everyone know their team is superior, so they can feel superior. Its just as dumb as apple vs. android or Xbox vs playstation vs pc. Guys, It’s ok to like what you do and NOT shit on people who don’t do what you’re doing.
