Samsung’s ‘screens everywhere’ initiative is morphing into ads everywhere.

A software update rolling out to Samsung’s Family Hub refrigerators in the US is putting ads on the fridges for the first time. The “promotions and curated advertisements” are coming despite Samsung insisting to The Verge in April that it had “no plans” to do so.

    Maybe it did not have plans to put ads on every last home appliance, but when the interviewer gave them the idea, they started making all of the plans forehead tap

    I feel for those who got duped on their fridge. I couldn’t find an entry for this incident, yet, on https://consumerrights.wiki/Samsung so I’ll sit down and try my best to write it up.
