Depends on what consumers stand for. If enough complain. If enough get bad reviews. If enough get returned. If enough buy something else is the big one. If there are other uses where they can't (some TVs are used a safety message boards in factories - if the ads ever show in this context and someone is hurt there will be a lawsuit - so there will be some demand at any price for something without ads)

How are people still buying into the whole "voting with your wallet" crap?

  • Most people don't care and so don't vote with their wallet.

    • Also, people don't realize that sometimes it doesn't even matter

      Enough people don't care, don't notice, or in the worst case, even when they do, if the companies band together and don't give people a choice, eventually they will cave and thats what i predict will happen here

      In the future i suspect most people's homes will have ads, except for nerds who will have rooted their devices. and hopefully their moms.
