  “Thats what you get” comments aren’t helpful or productive. Don’t demonize the customer, demonize Samsung in this case. It’s not the customers fault… I highly doubt it said “Advertisements coming soon” om the box when they bought it.

    Smart fridges arent helpful either. Its gimmicky bs from tech giants. The same tech giants that inject ads into everything they can for past 20 years. Genuinely, what did you people expect??

    Im not trying to be helpful or productive. Obviously. Im making fun of people for buying dumb shit.

      Feel free to make fun of ppl, but I hope you realise that these type of comments that ridicule the customers just leave the companies out of the fire and let them continue doing this to us.

      Not everyone is technically inclined or educated on this type of stuff, not really their fault that these companies prey on them with this stuff.

        Samsung is pretty known to be a shit ass company. You can spend your money how you like, but dont be surprised when someone laughs at you for buying shitty overpriced stuff

    I argue it IS customer’s fault. To let Samsung be able to enshittify this much and still stand on the market.

      In my opinion, we can’t blame the customer because they don’t actually sign up for this treatment. Samsung (in this case) didnt tell these people “yeah, there will be ads soon”, no, they bought this product and THEN the ads came.

      This happens with a lot of things, they get you in then close the doors and trap you in.

      Not everyone knows this happens, so I think we that do should be doing everything we can to stop it, otherwise we will end up with every fridge being a “smart fridge” and we in the know won’t have a choice but to buy one.
