They do not sell TVs at a loss lol.

Retailers don't, but those $300 60" TVs cost manufacturers more than that in parts and shipping. They are 100% making up for it in LTV from your data, that's why some are trying to make it impossible not to use them when not connected to the internet.

Look at an major TV manufactures books and the TV part is a loss, the income they get from the TV is selling you to advertisers.

I'd love to see your source for this. I won't hold my breathe because it's simply not true.

I am waiting on your apology or rebuttal!

[–] FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au 1 points 1 month ago

I am still waiting for you to provide evidence. Your last attempt was woeful and nothing of the sort.

None of these links even remotely say they sell their TVs at a loss.

Roku shouldn’t even be anywhere near this conversation if you were serious. They probably sell a dozen TVs a year. They’re all about streaming boxes which is a different story altogether.

You said to look at their books, yet didn’t provide anything to back that up.
