No, thanks. I'll stick with my long-since-paid-for, 25-year-old Maytag. That is, as long as it works.
I recall reading in Consumer Reports many years ago that most refrigerators were discarded not because they stopped working, but because of cosmetic damage. Broken plastic door shelves, dents, rust, out of style, etc. The compressors were still fine.

Don't bloody buy smart appliances. If you happen to have one, switch off its connectivity. If you insist on local connectivity, isolate it from the web. If you insist on using the internet connectivity of your home appliance then you deserve every bit of the nonsense that is thrown at you
Fuck this
To be more accurate, the ads only appear in specific cases where idiots were dumb enough to buy a fridge with a screen.
