You bought a fridge with a tv. You knew it was going to happen

What is the purpose of a screen on a fridge? Is this common (without the ads)?

If not, how would you not notice when you buy it. You'd need to be utterly oblivious.

Maybe they just have unnecessarily contrived fridges where this person is.

Usually like the weather, todo lists, shopping lists, calendar... Like daily routine planning. Some have music or photos.

This all coming from a non fancy fridge owner.

Isn’t that why we have smartphones and computers? Personally I’ve never contemplated going to the kitchen to do such things.

I never connect smart shit to my internet but I'm sure eventually they won't function until you do.

I already decided to stop buying Samsung TVs when they started showing ads in the menus.

I imagine other consumers will start to make similar choices with their appliances.

Whatever exec thought this was a good idea probably already got a huge bonus and will move on to ruin another company's products before the impact to their bottom line is felt.
