Or you keep them offline and use a dedicated “smart” device like an Apple TV or Android TV.
That just moves the problem to a different company. None of which is any better in the long run.
So then don’t connect the TV to anything I guess. Except a PC running jellyfin or Kodi.
Cheaper to replace. And in case of Android TV also more open.
How about a nice RPi500 as a media center?
Depends what you are consuming. Your local library? Sure (if you have a nice way for remote control). If you want Netflix, Prime, etc, then missing DRM is an issue (between missing and super hacky).
