Who exactly would you ever ask to find out that the samsung fridge you were looking at was going to get ads in the future?

Certainly not the appliance salesman, they don't know samsung's plans. And good luck calling samsung and asking for the "future plans" department. This is such a dishonest take.

They do know their own plans, though, and thus can offer a contractual guarantee on how the product they are selling will be treated in the future.

If they aren't willing to stand buy what they are selling, why would you want to buy it from them in the first place? That's what we call a scam.
