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.

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.
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.
