I've had a Samsung TV for a while. They started with putting little ads in the menu not to long after I bought it. Last November they removed the steam link app so I can't stream games from pc. Just the other day they switched the default app on open from whatever was open before to the news playing over an ad to buy their cable alternative. The setting in the menu to change it back doesn't work.
It's worse than no support
I had one too, at first I found I could block their malware using Pihole. Then they started putting the ads on the same domain as the content.
