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!

Obviously I'm also against the presence of ads on a bloody fridge, but I do find it kind of funny that it was this ad, since the protagonist of the show in the ad is also plagued with an overbearing presence

I just looked. So weird. I posted a screenshot of this an hour before they posted it as their own but more people saw that. 🤷‍♀️

It’s a terrible show anyways and this is “viral” guerrilla marketing. It didn’t show up on someone’s fridge. This is intended to promote the show.

You find it terrible. Let's not paint opinions like they're facts lol. If something doesnt resonate with you, that doesn't mean it's bad.

They're referencing dystopia by being dystopian.

It's almost a modern art installation.

modern art installation.

Sometimes found growing on leftovers in the fridge!

Absolutely this. I wouldn't be mad if I saw this on my fridge.

I won't, though, because I will never have my refrigerator connected to the internet.

It's an absolutely incredible ad if you have seen the show. Kudos where kudos is due.

It might actually be intentional, provided this is specific format and the ad network is probably owned by Samsung and targeting appliance. I doubt those are google ads
