Comment on Fresh dystopian hell from Samsung fridges with ads.
TommySoda@lemmy.world 16 hours agoYeah, but some people didn’t opt into it. I’ve worked on a lot of new construction in my state and they buy these appliances for every new apartment complex they build. I know people could choose a different apartment, but most people don’t have any other option and saying “no” to a decent apartment because of a refrigerator isn’t a luxury people can afford.

Why would someone buy a smart fridge for an apparent complex?

Ads subsidise the upfront cost to the developers. Try buying a dumb TV.

Because then it’s “luxury” and they’re allowed to charge $1500+ for a 1 bedroom

“Incentives” for the purchasing party.
