This drives me nuts on my Samsung. Also, I have automatic firmware updates installed which has throttled my TV. Navigating between menus is a lot slower than what it used to be (bought the TV in 2016).

I had this same problem too. I just blocked ads.samsung.com and samsungads.com on my router. Now the ads don't show up.

Edit: thank you kind redditor for my first gold!
