Samsung Statement to Android Authority:

Samsung is committed to innovation and enhancing every day value for our home appliance customers. As part of our ongoing efforts to strengthen that value, we are conducting a pilot program to offer promotions and curated advertisements on certain Samsung Family Hub refrigerator models in the U.S. market.

As a part of this pilot program, Family Hub refrigerators in the U.S. will receive an over-the-network (OTN) software update with Terms of Service (T&C) and Privacy Notice (PN). Advertising will appear on certain Family Hub refrigerator Cover Screens. The Cover Screen appears when a Family Hub screen is idle. Ad design format may change depending on Family Hub personalization options for the Cover Screen, and advertising will not appear when Cover Screen displays Art Mode or picture albums.

Advertisements can be dismissed on the Cover Screens where ads are shown, meaning that specific ads will not appear again during the campaign period.

At least it enhances every day value for the customer!

Ugh.

Yay capitalism!

Next up, fridge subscriptions. Sorry, but you need a pro subscription to cool more than 10 products!

"Sorry, setting your oven to 200C requires Pro Mode Subscription. If you also want fast start, upgrade to our Premium Tier. Anyway, here's a 2 minute ad before we heat your food."

We looked inside your fridge and discovered you're cooling breast milk. Children's products require a Samsung Family subscription, try it at a discount for 9 days, renews for 150USD yearly.

I think that’s covered by the water filter mechanism.
