This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I can’t believe this is real. I’ve just bought a relatively cheap Samsung smart TV and it’s got nothing close to this. I would hardly even say it’s got adverts since it’s mostly just recommendations from my apps in the same way they all do now, I don’t think I’ve actually seen it try to sell me anything or get me to watch something that wasn’t free.

Who the fuck would buy a TV like this? If a company was going to introduce on-screen ads like this they’d start really small.

Your Samsung will start pushing ads after the warranty period

I didn't exactly do a lot of research into either of the two TVs I have and neither of them have ads like this.

I don't mean they do this consistently, but that they do this by chance. sometimes people end up spending money on bad brands
