The $3000 Ad tech Samsung fridge is a cold reminder that @pluralistic 's warning that paying for the product still makes you the product is much worse than that.
On top of marking yourself as a target, the higher the price you pay, the more surveillance is included.
Each feature, sensor, doohickey or whatever is you paying for extra surveillance, more data processing, more detail, etc.
Free, old, or really $/%@ cheap are the only remaining *consumer* options to avoid this.
