I have a Samsung smart TV from 2022. At some point, the Smart Hub started displaying ads. I think it’s absolutely disgusting that a device that I paid for and own, and that doesn’t use any additional Samsung “free” services is forcing ads on me, just to generate additional revenue for Samsung from an already-sold device. I was blocking the ads via my Pi-hole instance, until I was tinkering with my homelab and networking setup not that long ago and broke something. That caused the ads to start appearing again, which reminded me of their existence.
