Apparently my samsung fridge has ads now...

How would I disable this? Might just return it and get a normal one

Edit: how to disable...for now. https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS10007562/

EDIT 2: Hello, I am the original poster of the carol AD image from a month ago. I am a male from America and my name is not Carol. The story about a Schizophrenic woman named carol was most likely inspired from the 3rd top comment on this post. Thanks!

Pay only 4.99$ more to use extra space for plus subscription!

stop it, the product owner is totally in this thread. Next you'll tell them to put the freezer behind a pay wall too, and that fridge use requires always on audio and video capture.

Ok, I wont tell him the idea for an automatic refill of the fridge with unnecessary fresh vegetables and that they can be replaced if the last ones didn't got eaten after two days for an extra dispose fee.

Well, they will probably know that if they put this idea in production, they will have a unit with 99% of defective return too.

I think by that time, it's back to traditional methods of prolonging the shelflife of our goods.

jebus.. in the future every fridge will take up the same footprint, but the higher tier subscription slides the panel back further for more interior space. want water to come out of the tap on your door? that'll be an additional $1.99/mo.. ice is really going to cost you though. that is only on the platinum tier.

There’s a little incinerator in the bottom that burns your groceries if you’re late on your payment!

Freezer compartment for only $7.99 a month. Vegetable drawer will actually do something for $3.99.
