How do I disable “for you” garbage?

by TheSpatulaOfLove

I am really not happy with Google shoving this in my face. The reason why I went with the Android tv is the clean interface and ability to decrapify stuff in the event a tv maker decided to put garbage on the interface.

Since the android 9 update, I can’t clean up my main menu anymore.

Anyone figure out how to disable the awful “for you” suggestions on the main menu?

Are there any alternative launchers available?

Use a different launcher.

I think if you go to account settings, there is an option for turning on apps only mode. However, that also disables the Google Assistant

Atv launcher isn't bad

Use a Non-Google TV supported IP Region by using a VPN, go to settings>apps>view system apps>Launcher X>Clear Data and viola! For you is gone!

The downside though is that the other tabs will like "Live", "Movies" & "Shows" will be gone too.

It literally escapes me
