What kind of shitty brand are people buying that have this issue?

None of what he's complaining about has ever happened to me. And the few things that are real, are options that you can disable in two seconds.

It reminds me of when someone posted an article about how Sony has an "ad bar" at the bottom of the screen...

To get the screenshot the author had pressed the input button so that all the installed apps showed up on the bottom, and they acted like it was always there and couldn't be removed

Stop buying Samsung or those cheap Chinese brands.

Looking at you, Sony Bravia. Shouldve bought something different.
