Nvidia Shield TV now forces Google Ads to appear on the Android TV home screen! 👎 Some racy, gruesome and otherwise socially unacceptable. No way to disable. Beware if you’re considering cord cutting! #Nvidia #CordCutting #Streaming #AndroidTV @NVIDIASHIELD

The purpose of a launcher is to quickly and easily launch the applications and games you use on a regular basis. The current Android TV launcher is now the worst launcher I have used on any platform. The actual list of apps is small, at the bottom of the screen, only displays a handful of apps, and has no support for organization such as folders, and has now become even more difficult to access. Every update makes this launcher worse, but the last straw was when they decided to throw giant full page ads on the main page. Being a TV, this means you have to manually up press multiple times on the remote through the ad to get from where the stuff I use is, to where the sleep button is. This "update" is completely mandatory too. I have been declining System Updates for over a year and have the Play Store set to not update anything automatically. It was still forced on us. Even uninstalling the launcher back to the original launch version doesn't remove the new ads. The only easy recourse we have is to disable Google Play Services entirely, which I have now done. I have also begun transitioning completely away from the Google ecosystem. If an app no longer runs with Google disabled, I get it from Amazon or side load it. I paid a lot of money for this Android TV device, and I have really enjoyed it thus far. I even bought other Google home devices recently. But Google destroying one of my favorite devices with their forced ads, and doing nothing to remedy the situation despite the major user backlash shows that they cannot be trusted in the future. Never has it been more apparent that we are the product and that our "owner" does not care about us.
