I'm sorry I can't take this article seriously. It's complaining about ads but the ghacks website itself is covered in adverts.

The ghacks website is free. A Samsung fridge is not.

According to another comment this site might be AI slop so I'm not defending it specifically, but in general journalism is traditionally a service expected to be subsidized by advertising, unlike an appliance you spend thousands of dollars on. The danger is that it becomes normalized that appliances work that way too.
