Apple does some stuff that isn’t great, but the Apple TV doesn’t have ads like their competitors. Apps can advertise what’s inside of them when they’re selected, but that’s it on the Home Screen.
Agreed. Although even if you’re blocking the loading of ads, they’re still capturing and selling behavioral data. Also, I have remotes that advertise video services that don’t even exist anymore.
Google and Roku primarily make money from ads.

It’s fairly easy to block Roku ads with a Pihole. I’ve got all mine in a special group and all I see is a nice, empty space where the ad should be.
True. Just saying there is a reason why Google and Roku’s stuff is dirt cheap. The real money is in the ads and selling your data.
Yep, which makes that empty void where an ad should be feel even better
