It's not.

For example when pausing a Hulu stream on my Samsung TV....I'll get an ad for random crap (sometimes for things placed in a show) ok my pause screen.

Samsung TVs are basically giant billboard you pay to have in your home.

You say this, and yet you have one in your home. And this contradiction is why these things continue to thrive: because even people who care...also don't care.

People like me are stuck. Not like we can return the TV's after years of owning them.

You could sell it on the secondary market (either whole or piecemeal) and use the money towards purchasing an alternate?

If that's Samsung interjecting onto other apps, that's horrible. I guess if it's Hulu it's still horrible, but feels less chaotic and it's easier to reason about whether the Hulu value prop alone is worthwhile given the price vs. ads.
