I think we’re overlooking that most non-technical people don’t really care about ads. They’re already used to seeing them everywhere. What they want is the initial emotional excitement of cool technology, which these so-called smart fridges offer. The ads are simply part of the package.
needed a new fridge and bought a used sub-zero. Kind of crazy to spend so much used (paid $2800). New it was ~ $12k
But it worked out. It is the best. Tall with everything in plain sight.
easy to access water filter, etc. Two cooling systems, one for fridge,
separate for freezer.
Not only are repair/maintenance parts plentiful, there are 3rd party water
and air filters.
It is like the rackmount server of fridges.
It was a bi36-ufd/0 if you're curious. this one has no wifi.

Once basically all manufacturers move to this model, consumers will be trapped for good.
