Not sure if it'd work on Netflix but my wife were pleasantly surprised to A&E and History apps on our apple tv suddenly forgetting how to do ads after I set up adguard home with a few extra filter lists...I did have to ok a few things the list blocked. But the apps work and seem to be adless, at least for now.

You can also use Dropbox, Box, OneDrive, iCloud, etc to send files back and forth.

Where they lose totally though is the off service data harvesting that isn’t even remotely “implied okay”

On meta’s while it is flagrant screw you, they may have a valid argument. Human beings don’t actually need any kind of social media to survive, ergo it is a convenience or luxury that could be charged for.

I’m certainly not agreeing with them, but they may be banking on that style argument and their ungodly amount of money to fight it.

Yes, yes they do. My wife's phone does this all the time, Talk about something, even random or sometimes from a tv show. In minutes she has instagram or youtube ads about the very thing.

Oh I was referring to for profit. Should have specified. I’m used to using that when meta screws over their users.

If it’s free online, you are the product

I disagree, they learned not to have it, drop it, and re add it months later. What they failed to learn is the problem was also short of some cross play requirements, people on pc don’t want yet another account requirement.
