HN baited by karma farmers once again.

Here's the /r/assholedesign post: https://old.reddit.com/r/assholedesign/comments/1ow6cpu/appa...

It shows a webpage with an ad being displayed in the browser app.

How do we know?

Full-screen ads don't show on the cover screen (home screen).

Here's the investigation:

>Any ad shown would be limited to the cover screen widget, which displays news, weather, and calendar events.

>The ad shown in the Reddit photo is of the fridge’s Samsung Internet app. Through that, an ad seems to have shown up organically through a third-party website.

Here's the docs that talk about ads on the cover screen:

It's easy for ragebait to short-circuit your critical thinking skills.

Don't let Redditards like /u/Shellnanigans get their fix.

Well they might want to produce some photos or screenshots of what it actually looks like when it displays ads. So far, they are only telling us what it doesn't look like, which doesn't instill much confidence. It should have been pretty easy for them to say "and here's what it actually looks like btw: [photo.jpg] [screenshot.png]". They didn't do that though. Why might that be?

Here's an actual Samshit fridge cover screen with the new ad widget:

Here's a GIF of it rotating through the modes:

Now where do I get my 10% commission on /u/Shellnanigans's 67,135 internet points?
