Not strictly true. I use Plex, and I've opted into watching movie previews before the movie I choose actually plays. I get to control how many, what type they are (only for new movies, etc), when. It's nice. These are ads for other movies. But that I'm watching a movie sort of indicates I am interested in watching more movies in the future. These TVs were supposedly pausing a movie in the middle and rolling a Pepsi commercial. I already know about Pepsi. I do not like it. But assume I did... assume I did like it, how would I ever want to watch a Pepsi commercial? And this is true of everyone. No one who buys a $1000 Samsung television is ignorant of the existence of Pepsi. And if the ad isn't trying to inform the ignorant of a new product, what exactly are they hoping to accomplish? They're hoping to brainwash us. That's always unacceptable. But for Samsung to tell people that they no longer own their televisions, that they're no longer allowed to control them, that's bizarre.
