Pihole or pfblockerNG can help data leaks

They are easy and cheap to setup. Block ads and trackers.

So if the TV knows I like songs with high pitch female singers, how come I don't more of those recommendations?

That's why Smart TV's are a waste of money. Always use a dumb TV and what ever media box you prefer. At least if the media box is doing dodgy shit it can be replaced.

Smart TVs are POSs. All of them. I have the LG Oled C8 77 inch and plex is still a POS on it lol. Buy a good streaming device and save yourself from the headaches.
