No, I won't because I'm not stupid enough to buy an Internet connected ad machine refrigerator.

I wonder if it'll be like TVs, which are cheap as fuck for a really nice TV, but equipped with garbage like Alexa and Amazon fire.

Right now, you can buy a $200 "smart" TV, or a $1800 "dumb" TV. I wonder if fridges and other appliances will go in that direction.

Even the $3000 Samsung TVs have ads if you connect them to the Internet. Noone is safe
