Yep. Do they really expect me to figure out which of the half million ad-sites my pihole is blocking so I can read the article?

If the terms and service include conditions, then include the terms and service. I dislike the the 'trust me, it's there'. Show me.
Talk about a company that has enshitified, I had an LG TV from 2008 that still worked when I gave it away a couple years ago, the LG TV I bought in 2019 has already died.
I think my LGTV predates a lot of this, thankfully. I've had it since 2020, but there are still several settings (like 'ad personalization') that I have turned off, and I never connect it to the Internet on purpose.
