    My personal theory about why they killed it off is because you could only get an audio ad and not a video ad on them, lol.

      Even more so, the Chromecast series could not display ads on their own to my knowledge. I don’t even think their hardware was made to support it. They were literally audio/video stream parrots directly from a web stream. The ads were only delivered if the source had ads.
