Google TV is asking users if homescreen ads are a vibe or a buzzkill

What you need to know

• Google TV may be aware users might be getting tired of ads, so it’s running a survey asking users if the home screen ads are too much.
• The survey, popping up on Onn 4K Boxes, gets users to rate if they “strongly agree” or “strongly disagree” with the ads.
• While the survey could cut back on ads, it might also justify adding more, especially with Google’s ad-driven revenue.

Google TV recently sent out a survey to some users, stirring up concerns by asking how they feel about the number of ads popping up on the homescreen.

9to5Google spotted a Reddit post showing Google asking some Google TV users in the U.S. what they think about the home screen ads—but just those, nothing else.

The survey shows up in the bottom-right of an Onn 4K Box, asking if the home screen ads on Google TV are a deal or a drag. The options range from “Strongly Agree” to “Strongly Disagree.”

The survey indicates that Google knows people might be getting fed up with all the ads on Google TV. It’s just a sign that ads are pretty much a permanent part of the digital scene now.
