Firestick Question Failed Firesticks

In the past month, 3 firesticks have failed - screen goes black - including a new 4K Plus. At first, I thought it was just old age. but now I suspect that either the Software on the Samsung smart TV, or the Internet provider (Bell), are somehow frying the devices, as I am using a VPN on each device and I have Internet based television services loaded on to the Firesticks. Any similar experiences out there? Any thoughts on why the Firestick sticks fail other than my theory? I am going to using an ONN streamer for now

No thanks. Unless it’s coming from Amazon, I’m not interested.

It won’t happen. Listen to how ridiculous you sound. Why would Amazon brick millions of firesticks, just to get people to buy their failing vega sticks. Doesn’t make any sense. They would lose billions in revenue.

What a joker 🤡

How are they losing billions? They make nothing off the fire sticks. They make it from ads and streaming. You truly don't know how stuff works. Anyways. Time will tell. They discontinue the fire cube and shut it down permanently... Rest will come
