Well yeah, it’s a fridge with a spacious screen and an Internet connection in the 2020s. Of course they’d capitalize on all that advertising real-estate. And of course they’d wait until after people have had them for a while. They’re unsurprisingly shameless.
I’d be curious to know what kind of data it’s collecting to optimize those ads.
Using some of the wifi connection tricks companies have, it can probably associate the device with all the devices your family has and the corresponding data

Come on it’s the 21st century where is your refrigerator electromagnet? Looks like it is very needed.
Nothing a good roll of duct tape can’t solve.
its like it requires internet conneciton, or some kind to make the fridge work.
People need to start using technology to improve their life and society. Stop using Windows, Google, Apple, download an adblocker, and don’t buy into tech consumerism like “smart fridges.” All I would want to know in a fridge that would be “smart” is like the temperature? and I wouldn’t sacrifice my time or attention by buying something which forces ads.
At least they don’t lock the fridge until you watch an ad.
If that happens, then this should be upgraded to Majorly Infuriating.
…yet
I can’t tell if I should upvote this or downvote this.
Why on earth would anyone buy this garbage? The only advanced feature I’d like would be a crushed ice dispenser.
This is me.
I just cant imagine wanting a fridge to do anything other than keeping things cold.
It’s kinda coincidental to have all three conglomerates in that picture: Sony producing that TV show, with advertisement paid by Apple TV to Samsung.
And probably some Google analytics tracker in the background as well.
Advertising must be the worst human invention ever.
It often feels like violence.
All thanks to John Advertising.
We know because that asshole told everyone about it and his services.
I mean what do you expect…?
This was always the goal when they started adding screens. Screens should always be viewed as ad delivery mechanisms especially if internet connected. That goes triple for devices that absolutely don’t need a screen. Like a fucking fridge. They will slow boil the process at first. But they’ll do it.
FYI there is a setting to disable ads. Doesn’t excuse them for introducing ads in the first place, but at least it’s a solvable problem (for now).
If we’re here to solve it, another solution is not to connect it to your network.
I don’t know why someone would want the internet on their fridge.
What else am I going to use to play Roblox when mom takes away my iPad, computer, tv, Switch, phone, Apple Watch, PlayStation, Xbox, Occulus, and car infotainment system? The dishwasher?

Imagine your name really is “Carol”, then you wake up one day and see this shit
I know people are doubting this happened but I’m pretty sure it’s a symptom of paranoid schizophrenia to think that one’s electronics are trying to speak to you.
