Samsung Steps Back from Ads in Its Mobile Apps

Next promise to stop spying on me through my tv. I doubt they get much money from that, but it's supremely irritating to have to work to defeat these things by trying to block their communication, block ads on the tv.

There must be a small fraction of the market that cares, but making your customer have more privacy has worked for apple, at least marketing wise.

I purchased a pair of S21s when released. They went back in less than 24 hours. The amount of bloat and spyware preloaded was egregious. I posted a write up on Reddit about the experience and it was amazing to see how quickly an army of defenders came to Samsung's side and dismissed all notion of privacy and device ownership in the name of such great hardware. Some were stating that there would be no way for Samsung to turn a profit if it's phones didn't come with software that's uninstallable like Facebook and Samsung's own apps.

Won't ever buy a Samsung device again.

very good idea samsung, your starting to do it right.
