> What kind of soulless automaton can write corp-speak garbage like this?

The kind of automaton that made a business plan thinking they can sell user data but is realizing that they can’t do that effectively.

I heard from a bird that heard from a bird that Netflix barred these companies from collecting and selling movie watching statistics Or they’ll yank the app from their tvs. I’d not be surprised if this is becoming more prevalent with Disney plus and other apps becoming far more walled up and putting in similar clauses (and more more and more people spend their time in these apps instead of cable ). Thus they’re desperately trying to find crappier revenue streams now that they have established tvs to be as cheap as they are now. Vizio isn’t some dumb corporate, im sure they know what such a move will do to their brand image.
