Samsung advertising new phone in my notifications

Not sure if it is like that because I'm in Korea, but on my Samsung S9 Samsung is injecting ads for their new S24 in my notifications. I've had the phone for 5 years and this is the first time I see ads in my phone notifications, unbelievable.

my previous samsung TV plastered a huge Doom Eternal AD into my settings panel...

my new samsung TV is not connected to the net, lol.

My PLex, Yotutube, Netflix goes through my NVidia shield.

TV comes from a box through a HDMI cable.

and Playstation is playstation.

0 need to connect that shit to the net

Samsung Smart TV owner here. Connected to Internet for steam link and found out app is no longer available to download.

I realized then my fast input section at the home screen was replaced with TV apps and In order to change inputs, I had to go to another sub category of "connected devices" nstead of being able to do it from home with the shortcuts

I reset the TV, connected to the Internet but did NOT agree to smart hub this time.... Now my quick input selection is back

It's awful that it got changed like that, was there no setting at all to change it back?

Not that I can see..once you opt into smart hub it takes over the home page.... I wasn't going to bother fucking with it. I was also pissed steam link was removed...my only reason for downloading apps on my previous samsung tv

I have my TV on a VLAN that doesn't have internet access. I don't want it to be able to access the internet, but still want to be able to control it using Home Assistant.
