Samsung appears to be adding Advertising

Sep 7, 2017 9:48AM PDT

Samsung appears to be adding advertising into released Smart TVs that didn't have any.

Till recently I didn't see much going on in this area but this and other threads seem to show a change in direction by Samsung.

-> Imagine your Smart Car gets an update and now shows adverts on the controls where it didn't before.

Next they'll add this to their refrigerator.

Here's what we want: "No advertising built into the UI."
