You can buy good quality TVs that are maybe 2-3 years old in sales or secondhand which would be much better than this, and no need for ads.
I’ve seen people get an LG C1 for like $100 secondhand and there’s nothing wrong with it. You don’t have to spend close to or upwards of 1,000 on a TV.
Somebody posted another comment with the exact same idea, and I think y’all are under-estimating the amount of people who live under the poverty line (11%/~4M people in the US for instance), and the even larger amount of people who live below a living wage, and therefore all have zero buying power for consumer discretionary items, let alone having $100 to spend.
Why would anyone want this? It’s free, so it’s obviously not even going to be a good quality TV.
There are no upsides to this.
It’s worse than that. If the concept of the book 1984 were a television this would be it.
All we need is to get a Peloton so our exercise can be monitored too.
The upside seems pretty clear? It’s a free 55" TV. A lot of people won’t care that it’s not as good as other TVs.
You’re just not poor enough yet. They’ll keep inflating us into poverty until this becomes everybody’s best option
Low income folks who can’t afford an alternative.
Honestly, if I was broke, I’d consider it. If you can afford anything else, then yeah, take that something else. But not everybody can afford stuff.

I tried to sign up just now but it’s US only. I don’t have a TV at all, I can’t afford one. I’d love this.
