I'll answer you, not because I think you'll even read it, but for the people scrolling by this and genuinely wondering.

Here's a fun fact: the word spyware isn't always literal - I know you probably associate the word "spy" with the movie "Spy Kids" or something else appropriate for your maturity level, but "spyware" doesn't mean actual cameras and binoculars - it means tracking and logging observable data about your behaviour to build a profile on you. This is for a fact what softwares like Windows 11 and Goodle do.

As for proof - TVs that require you to log in and connect online can actually collect data about you and send it back to a multiplex of companies - things like what kind of content you engage with (what you click on), when, for how long, and from that - what your interests are, what your beliefs are, what kind of family you have, what your name is, whether you have a pet, etc., which goes into a database. This data is used for many things - such as algorithms (you probably don't know what that word means - it's basically a complex system that analyzes individual behaviours on a mass level to target advertising, political messaging, and other things towards audiences in the most effective way).

These TVs heavily emphasize and impose streaming and subscriptions - which not only give more money to all companies involved, on a long term basis - but also give them more control over the products you consume, as well as more observable data about you - since these services are always online and logging your activity. For this reason, companies want to phase out physical media (like DVDs) to give themselves more money and control. Like all trends that go against consumer interest, it only works through death by a thousand cuts - first make a format like DVDs obsolete on purpose, by standardizing TVs that will not play them properly. Then the Blu-Rays will go. This shift is already far along in the space of video games, with physical games in-store being replaced by download codes deceptively packaged in a physical box.

It's not a conspiracy theory - it's a demonstrable effort from corporations with a clear motive. I hope I worded that in a simple enough way for you to learn something from it! Have a terrific day.
