This is stupid. Companies are really trying to get people to hate everything tech related. From "smart" beds, to "smart" fridges, and with the "looming" job displacement due to "AI" and robotics, I could see how a "human-centric" economy or new wave of businesses and startups with a "human-centric" approach could develop in few years.

Neat, another brand I don't have to consider when purchasing appliances in the future. Saves me time at a glance!

As a human, I'm FUCKING TIRED OF ADS.

This annoyed so much I actually wrote them a physical letter denouncing the practice and mailed it to their US corporate HQ. I haven't mailed a letter in years. Feels odd.

Next up is the update that makes the refrigerator refuse to cool your food without an annual subscription. Oh, and the ads don't go away.

Iirc, Chris Whittle proposed this idea of refrigerator advertising in the 1980s. Seemed dystopian then. Ugh.

Enshitfication at its best.

Nope nope nope
