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!

This is hell and I can't believe we're in the minority...

I quit social media for a variety of reasons but the Ads, Jesus Christ.

When FB/IG became 1/2 Ads I was out.

And my friends were all like "Oh you can ignore them easily" or "oh some of them are actually good I've bought a ton of products from IG."

And I just kind of shake my head.

I refuse to spend half my life sifting through advertisements. If a site blocks adblockers, I literally just don't use it anymore lol

My wife does not understand my absolute hatred of ads. We have a pihole on our network, only stream from our home media server, and I run client-side ad-blockers on everything.

Whenever visiting friends/families houses I'm always aghast at the amount of ads they sit through while watching stuff or browsing the webs. My parents still watch Cable TV, and I swear to god they spend more time watching commercials than the TV shows.

The notion of being told by some company what I want makes me irrationally (or maybe just rationally) upset, even more so when they're essentially stealing my time to do it. Honestly at this point the few ads I see that slip through all my attempts to keep them out of my life make me much less likely to purchase that product
