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.
Again, im not trying to change their minds lmao.
Been down that road with many family and friends. They will decide what they will decide whether or not i try to tell them these companies suck.
You don’t have to change anyones mind, I just think laughing at people who aren’t really in the wrong is going to ruin any chance of us as consumers getting more knowledgeable on this stuff, which will lead us down the path of brands doing whatever, which should be the opposite of what you want. So laughing in peoples faces isn’t doing you any good, that’s probably why your family and friends dont listen to you.
A gentle nudge in the right direction is all people need, not being laughed at and mocked.
