Why dumb TV's won't make a comeback --- price.

Manufacturers make recurring revenue by invading the privacy of "dumb" users with their "smart" TVs.

It's probably only a matter of time before TV manufacturers establish their own ad networks.

Why? Because they can. They have the ability to fully control *their* "smart TV" (that you paid for) and show you ads that they control --- independent of any programming.
