Yeah, good point. Owners of Samsung “smart” refrigerators started seeing ads on them recently.

I’m sure there was some sort of legal terms that users had to agree to to enable that, but it still feels like a scam. Some amount of those fridge owners would not have bought the fridge if they knew there would be ads on it at any point in time.
