If people do not want a screen on the fridge, then the sales numbers will tell manufacturers not to make that model. So much of product is experimentation, and often times the research and experiments ends up being wrong. So many products and companies fail when they go to market and find out nobody wants it. The other side of the coin are the products that are unexpected hits... There are so many things that have to go right... and it takes so few to go wrong.

- cgriswald 6y agoIt's not really about sales. First, sales numbers can only really ever tell you part of the story. If every fridge has a screen, sales numbers won't tell you about the demand for screenless fridges. If, at that point, some manufacturer tests a screenless fridge, the sales numbers might tell you about a lack of demand or might tell you about a failure in marketing. Additionally, if fridges with screens can be used to advertise to customers, get them to sign up for subscription services, steal their data, avoid the expense of bifurcating the line of fridges, or otherwise increase profit or decrease costs, they will be manufactured anyway.
