I belong to one demography of ex Samsung customers:

I've blacklisted them for hurting UX to show ads. Last device: my very high-end OLED TV has the worst menu navigation, just to take me back to the home screen where they hoped to show ads to me. Once I realized they are analysing my content, even when coming from an external device to send home for ADs, I just disconnected it from the internet.

I'll not buy anything again unless they change this and stay away from it long enough to repair the damage to trust.

Not buying an Apple device either, but for different reasons.

TBF: Apple has slowly been on the “push our services” ads thing. At least not other companies.

But they’re doing it. And it’s annoying.
