I called Samsung once for my smart TV that was showing ads that slowed everything down when they rotated out. Told them I just spent north of a grand on their TV (circa 2016) and that I didn't pay for ads. Lo and behold, the service technician suggested I simply disable the internet on the TV and that they'd happily help me with that. Of course I didn't (I hung up on them), but out of curiosity I disabled the WLAN on it anyway and restarted it just to see what happened. The ads were cached. There is absolutely no way to escape the ads on Samsung's TVs. I'll never buy another Samsung product again - it's my belief those sorts of practices are indicative much more sinister, less obvious anti-consumer practices.
