I finally ditched my Google TV for the Apple TV — and I couldn’t be happier

Having dabbled in building my own smart TV before smart TVs were a thing (using tools like Kodi, HTPCs, and Raspberry Pis), I found Google’s smart TV ambitions to be everything I ever wanted when it got launched back in 2013. From the first Chromecast to flying abroad to pick up an Nvidia Shield, then the Chromecast with Google TV, and eventually televisions with Google TV built-in, I’ve been part of the journey since day one.

For years, Android TV and its subsequent evolution into Google TV represented the absolute peak of that philosophy of democratizing media access to everyone. Unfortunately, that beautiful vision has completely disintegrated over the last few years. What used to be an intuitive gateway to my entertainment has gradually transformed into a bloated, slow, and deeply frustrating digital advertising platform that prioritizes monetization over a basic user experience.
