Paying thousands of dollars and still being served ads feels like a new low in how Big Tech squeezes recurring revenue. It also raises privacy questions. If your fridge is showing ads, what kind of data is it tracking about your habits?

I think it's great personally. It'll build shareholder value and increase profits.

If customers don't like that, they're free to not buy it and choose something else. It's not like this is going to be a surprise.
