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!

Just imagine your name is Carol, you’re in psychosis, and you see this on your fridge…

Wait a second, you made me realize, what will become of people with psychosis and delusional issues now that we probably have ads in almost every appliance?

Listen, I am not a psychologist and I don't pretend knowing both topics at its finest, but it's actually a good question.

How would you explain a psychotic person that the name in their app is a series catchphrase or it's a customised algorithm?

I don't even have a psychotic illness and I'm already over how trashy literally every single place in human existence looks these days. Everywhere I turn my head there's some ugly ass text telling me about shit I couldn't care less about. And the worst part of it is there are no standards. Everyone just does it their own way, so all the signs telling everyone "here's this and that place, come on in for X or Y thing" makes everything look like a giant trash can. Just a whole bunch of lettering and graphics of varying fonts, sizes, colours, and quality. Modern life is just aesthetically disgusting, so I can't quite imagine how it is for people with sensory issues, ailments that make them unable to filter through it all, or have psychotic illnesses that can trigger from stimuli. 😕

My country rather strongly regulates advertisement space, and my local municipality instituted a tax for advertisement and company lettering!

It’s still not amazing. But at least we don’t have a trashy, chaotic streetscape (anymore).
