alt Hacker Newswatch videos on TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Netflix, Apple TV, etc. so that the telemetry at least goes directly to the vendors and their partners in an accurate, compressed channel directly associated with your subscription account
(i am joking but the cognitive dissonance about telemetry is so stupid. you are watching TV on a subscription service, someone already knows who is watching what.)

Did I consent someplace to having my TV tell its manufacturer that I am using an Amazon fire stick? No? Then it's wrong for my TV to send that info out.

yeah, if you're watching porn on your computer, the porn website already knows, so they'd might as well forward that info straight to your mother
That's a fine argument if you're watching videos on those platforms, but ACR also phones home when you're watching local content, too. Your Jellyfin server, Blurays, video games, content from your computer, it all goes back to the mothership.
