Google TV home screen gains autoplaying video ads

Oh, how the ratings are dropping for Android TV Home right now... And rightly so. Google fucked up and have absolutely ruined the Android TV experience with this change.

I tried to fight against this update and retain the original Android TV UI, but gave up and replaced Android TV Home launcher with Sideload Channel Launcher 3. The devs for that launcher have done an amazing job with it. You can even create channels for subreddits! It doesn't currently support any other types of channels yet though, but here's to hoping that support is added at some point!

Because annoying garbage playing on its own is a “gain”…

The Android TV experience is totally ruined. I'm sorry, but completely I lost faith in the Android ecosystem.

WTF ads on the homescreen?!
