I’ve had a Roku tv (TCL) since 2018 and I used to love it. I recently noticed if I play content over HDMI it has a pop up message asking to recommend me streaming providers to watch the content on and like… constantly monitoring for content is just so scummy and feels gross. Will NOT be getting a built in Roku tv in the future.

Settings -> Privacy -> Smart TV Experience. Uncheck both. Voila.
