Yes. I can confirm it’s regardless of SKU

Jesus, I can't imagine paying for something and still getting ads shoved down my throat.
Most people who watch TV are very used it.
In $current_year? Sure some cheap Android TVs are probably littered with suggestions to offset the price, but wouldn't it be strange to pay for Netflix and still have to watch ads?
I meant 'TV' as in TV channels provided by a cable provider, not 'TV' as in a large monitor hanging on your wall.
I got that, hence "in $current_year". I don't know of anyone who has a cable subscription and my country even shut down the analog signals. I understand many people are paying for and using products subsidized by ads and personal data, but they usually don't know any better and don't realize they're doing it.

If one is infected by a virus collecting every keystroke sold on the black market there is reason to worry. But when it's part of a product sold by a multibillion dollar company and collected on a global scale it's just monetization. Don't forget we're speaking about the PRO version here. I will never understand the people who knowingly don't care.

The parent may be referencing cable TV.
