It seems to be related to some advertising push from a partner named Alfonso that is gathering information cross-platform anything that appears on your screen and pushing advertising to you during playback.

Hopefully not, but that's what it looks like from early reading.

So replacing one spying device with another is better?

That's like saying that all spying is equal and all information is of equal value.

There are good reasons for it that you're not grasping, but I'm pretty sure your behavior in your responses in this thread is why no one is bother to try to interact with you and explain them. I know its why I'm not bothering to explain them to you at least. I hope you get the streaming device experience you desire.

Considering the initial post is about privacy concerns, saying that one spying device is better than another because it is more user-friendly is stupid.

I'm understanding the points, I'm just saying the reasoning is idiotic.

So LG taking screenshots of what you put on your screen, along with all their other telemetry, is the same as another device that only tracks your watchlist?
