I do not understand people. Why did you need a fridge with a display in the first place?

I'm finally sure my fridge predates the internet it came with the house and cost £50 I have zero interest in replacing it what does having a display give me?

Frankly if you're buying these fridges you're part of the problem, of course they're going to put advertisements on it, what else are they going to put on it. You all damn well know you don't use the display anyway.
