So my friend was telling me yesterday that she got a new Samsung smart TV for her living room. One afternoon she was sitting on the couch across from the TV, which was turned off, talking to her friend about social anxiety.

The next day her Samsung phone, Facebook account, and her son’s Instagram account (which is linked to her phone number) were blown up with ads for social anxiety medications.

She called Samsung up like “WTF“ and they admitted that it was a “feature“ on the smart TV for it to record conversations even when turned off in order to provide customized ads. You could turn off the setting but of course you probably wouldn’t even know about it unless something like this happened because it’s not like they readily advertise “this thing will record your conversations even when it’s turned off“.

yee they do that w our phones and computers too and our texts its creepy as fuck

I’m not saying I’m definitely an NPC, but if I am a protagonist, the game I’m starring in is probably free-to-play.

Makes sense:

  • I can only do something useful once every few hours
  • Ads are everywhere
  • The pacing seems designed to be deliberately frustrating
  • A lot of the hassle would go away if had a ton of money
