LG is looking to squeeze more money out of its customers by turning its TV business into a "media and entertainment service provider" business. It'll expand its "content, services and advertisements" across its webOS platform that runs on over 200 million TVs around the world. LG plans to expand webOS to non-LG TVs and even "non-TV hardware" over the next five years. LG will also subscriptions to some of its more modern appliances in the ThinQ UP range (fridges, ovens, dishwashers, etc), that'll unlock features via the ThinQ app. Very much like what BMW and Tesla does with their cars. Nobody likes this. Please stop.
