Because I don’t understand. Really.

An “ad” for me is “buy Charm paper towels” or “install app you don’t have”.

“Continue watching Reacher Season 3” is not an ad.

For you it is?

So a “continue watching” or “new on amazon prime” is an AD now?

You can just move them off the top row and you get no “ads”. Only put stuff with no previews in there.

The person in question was German. Microsoft found suspicious images on their Skydrive and shut down the whole MS account, Xbox and all.

What was it? Pictures of his kids on the beach, which the puritan American algorithm determined as evil

Every cloud provider scans their storage, because the law is like that.

People have gotten their MS accounts closed when Onedrive was still called Skydrive due to automated scans finding suspicious activity

Not at this scale. Remember that Apple is a hardware company first. They make money from hardware and app stores.

Google is the worlds largest ad company who dabble in hardware and services to increase their ad revenue.

Not a popular answer, but Apple TV is the best out of the box experience. Zero ads, massive longevity. Mine is like 7 years old and still running the latest tvOS.

If you have the cash and inclination, Nvidia Shield is the hackers choice. Zero hardware upgrades in years tho, but software aplenty.

Just don’t let your smart TV access the internet in any situation, there’s no need. It’s just a stupid display.

AI is like a band saw. It’s really easy to use it wrong and start missing fingers when you get cocky and move too fast.

Then you have people who know how to use it like Jimmy DiResta who will just freehand stuff on one and still has 10 fingers: https://youtu.be/gA4lpsEWM5k

From a statement like this you can’t tell which one it is. Usually the first.
