It's not like they're showing you ads about shoes or kitchen utensils. It's a TV appliance so.. what else did you expect? A blank screen with just the Netflix icon? Are the Netflix recommendations ads too?
Yes
> Are the Netflix recommendations ads too?
Yes
it's just that the tolerance towards unsolicited promotional material / ads varies from person to person.
They are ads, and I also would prefer a tastefully blank screen with none of them.
Just to add support to that post.
