All while getting cheaper in the process. Thanks capitalism!

Getting cheaper due to mandatory spyware that requires networking knowledge to properly isolate and disable. Thanks capitalism!

That's annoying, but it's not why scaled manufacturing is lowering unit costs of panel production. Look at bare panel prices, they've followed the same cost curve down.

The same problem exists in the airline market. Airline ticket prices are historically very low, but people complain about seats, fees, and so on. But then they keep buying the absolute cheapest ticket.

What consumers say they care about, and what they actually care about, are not the same. Otherwise they'd pay more for the less irritating product.

I would love to shop around and find seats that give me the things that I want without having to spend more on extra fees, but the model they have now is to basically show me the nickle and dining seat, and then pay to upgrade it to the fee free version.

All while getting worse; advertisements, terrible interfaces, privacy invasions, frame gen, weird color options, etc. I don't hate capitalism or anything, but new TVs are dumb as heck.
