Although adverts on the fridge are absolutely terrible, is this genuine? Here's a reddit post some time before that suggesting the scenario: https://old.reddit.com/r/assholedesign/comments/1ow6cpu/appa...

Just because someone suggested a possible scenario could happen and it then did happen isn't all that suspicious to me.

On Reddit? It should... These were historically almost always made up after people looked into it.

To be clear, the picture is likely real. The backstory to it probably not.

The people that actually feel like they've had the episode would almost certainly not go on social media with it. The venn diagram of people sharing such content, having the money to buy such a gigantic smart fridge and suffering from schizophrenia is miniscule

Did you read the post? It's somebody talking about what happened to their sister.

I admittedly did not, initially.

I did now and am even more certain it's made up now.

I'm not sure how anyone can honestly think this is a person talking about their family. This is like a textbook made believe story people have been doing since Reddit got popular in early 2010s.

For this story to be real, you'll have to add a fourth and fifth circle to the diagram with a family member being close enough to the person suffering from the illness to be confided in and being so karma hungry to utilize their personal story which is likely shameful to them for going viral on Reddit.

It’s anti-tech rhetoric so it works well here in HN. That’s the entire purpose of it.

Not to say ads on fridges aren’t stupid. But they are stupid enough by themselves; they don’t have to make up stories about them.
