I know this is kind of a nightmare of a product, and I would never get one, but I can see the appeal.<p>Not everyone has the budget for many forms of entertainment. When you’re poor getting antenna TV sure beats getting nothing even if you’ve got to watch some ads.<p>I think the big thing that needs to happen is that products like these need to disclose what and how they are tracking in clear vernacular language.<p>This device with a camera is undoubtedly going to be tracking individual faces and measuring each person’s reaction to different content in a very sophisticated way that most people can’t fathom.
