Please stop buying these & they will stop making them.
That's not really true, we're at the point where oligarchs basically have the unlimited money glitch, they don't give a fuck about what the consumers ask for and just demand that we want things that help them screw us over. That's why every job and every application process demands that prospective employees have their own car and their own smartphone.
This is capitalism, they will stop making the normal fridges and only make these fucking things. The only power customers truly have is through regulation(though we should still boycott things because it still helps).
Then people will claim no one was buying the normal ones. *looks at light trucks and smartphones with a headphone jack*
In which case a new industry appears that makes smart appliances stupid.
