I feel so dumb just not buying a smart tv now.

you can't. the only dumb tvs you can buy any more are intended for trade show/store kiosks.

I mean, possibly YOU can't. I can.

I was so excited today to find a rare brand new dumb television in the store today. I bought it immediately. No wifi, no bluetooth. No smart channels. No user agreement. An antenna and an hdmi port. SOLD!

I recreated all of the mobile games my family plays and left out the ads and “daily run counts” etc. just making it low stakes fun again.
