This is burying the lead. It's not just about showing ads. It is tracking everything you on your TV, whether or not it a roku service
FYI, it's "lede"
Oh, I'm stupid
Lede has a very specific meaning and is seldom used outside of journalism, lead is perfectly acceptable in common vernacular
Yes, and this was that very specific meaning and was used in the context of journalism.
Language is meant to convey meaning. You clearly understood the meaning, so the language succeeded.

Lmao they already do that. That's not new. They've been snooping on your signals for a while. My parent's TV sometimes shows a pop-up after watching certain things on antenna/satellite
Wtf that's got to be illegal??
