You not only paid for the refrigerator, but also the electricity and the internet access.

That's a good point actually. You can eliminate these ads by taking it off the Wi-Fi.

Why you'd connect it to the internet in the first place is a mystery to me

I have my washer and dryer connected to the internet. I set up an automation that flashes the lights upstairs when a load is done, and turns on the laundry room lights. I suspect there are some fun automation opportunities with this fridge, too. But my washer and dryer don’t have giant touch screens or ads. I’d never buy this fridge.
