LG monitor asking about ad tracking preferences (x.com)

It. Is. Never. Enough.

You paid hundreds of dollars for a new monitor, but it doesn't matter. More ads, more profits.

I hate it.

Later or Agree
No Disagree option

A rapist mentality.

As with all these services, the "disagree" option is "stop using our devices and services" which really should be illegal when it's tied to hardware you already bought it and the terms changed after the fact.

I bought an LG microwave a few months ago to replace a dead 10 year old Sharp. My favorite "features":

The sticker on the door stating that by using the microwave I agree to LG's TOS, including binding arbitration.
The single 4 minutes and 30 seconds of use I got out of it before the magnetron broke.

When I returned it they customer service person asked if I wanted it serviced under warranty -- hilarious. Bought a Panasonic instead.
