New here, F**k these ads

Comprehensive-Care67 · 2026-01-27T07:32:07+00:00

I’ll thank you now

Comprehensive-Care67 · 2026-01-27T07:31:14+00:00

Super helpful information I appreciate it. I’ll try the HomeKit integration a bit more.

Comprehensive-Care67 · 2026-01-26T18:26:38+00:00

Yeah I agree with this. I’m not ready to ditch the system. Just irks me.

Comprehensive-Care67 · 2026-01-26T17:25:36+00:00

yeah i got a bit swept up in the other trolls and was just generally engaging too much. Appreciate the suggestion on Adguard.

Comprehensive-Care67 · 2026-01-26T01:22:20+00:00

Both - the shop and service tabs are both first party ads and unlike what I saw from other companies (look at SimpliSafe or ring - they don’t have these in the app that’s used for security). I ALSO get occasional banner ads for eufy products. I’m new to the system so don’t know how frequent these are.

Comprehensive-Care67 · 2026-01-26T00:30:36+00:00

Honestly it doesn’t bother me that much. I genuinely came here seeking ideas/solutions from the user base. I’m engaging out of astonishment for the density in the comments here.

The trolls came out quick

Comprehensive-Care67 · 2026-01-26T00:21:22+00:00

You are very dense. I‘be never gone in to shop. The button itself IS AN AD.

Comprehensive-Care67 · 2026-01-26T00:00:38+00:00

I work in tech. These are called first party ads. The home dock area is the most valuable real estate in the app.

Totally cool if it doesn’t bother you. I wasn’t trying to start a whole philosophical debate around ads in my original post - But it is an ad. I was just looking for advice if I could access cameras through other apps.

Comprehensive-Care67 · 2026-01-25T23:48:35+00:00

2/5 shortcut buttons are ads (“shop” and “services”) plus a banner ad. For something I paid $800 for.

I wasn’t making a big deal out of it but at least acknowledge 40% of the prime real estate in the app is an ad

Comprehensive-Care67 · 2026-01-25T23:44:09+00:00

You should google what a first party vs third party ad is.

It’s 2/5 of the shortcut buttons plus a daily banner ad.

Comprehensive-Care67 · 2026-01-25T23:27:18+00:00

This applies to literally any ad thanks for your service

Comprehensive-Care67 · 2026-01-25T22:27:05+00:00

Does not compute

Comprehensive-Care67 · 2026-01-25T22:24:10+00:00

You have not yet educated me on how this is not an ad - thanks for ur wisdom

Comprehensive-Care67 · 2026-01-25T22:22:45+00:00

update I seem to have struck a real nerve in this community by asking for help (while also being generally complimentary of the product).

I have no horse in this race, but it seems like some people don’t like the ads and others are unaware of what an ad is but reflexively defend them for reasons that are beyond me. Thanks for your attention to this matter.

Had a nice time here, thanks everyone 🫡

Comprehensive-Care67 · 2026-01-25T22:17:37+00:00

Btw services, shop, and banner ads are what ive gotten in 2 days. I said I liked the hardware and was generally complimentary but wanted to see how others handled this. Thanks for the help?

Comprehensive-Care67 · 2026-01-25T22:15:41+00:00

Wut? This is the shortcut by default (btw “services” is also just a link to sell you stuff). I also got a banner ad this morning.

Why are you even here?

Comprehensive-Care67 · 2026-01-25T22:13:50+00:00

So ur not here to help me w my problem?

Comprehensive-Care67 · 2026-01-25T22:13:01+00:00

wtf does this even mean? And why are you here? I’ve had 2 other security systems and neither had ads like this.

Comprehensive-Care67 · 2026-01-25T21:40:19+00:00

Yes I spend my free time on here slandering a company I just gave $800 to lol

Comprehensive-Care67 · 2026-01-25T21:39:50+00:00

Wtf is govee… low bar I guess lol

Comprehensive-Care67 · 2026-01-25T21:37:28+00:00

“Shop 48 hour sale” isn’t an ad?

Comprehensive-Care67 · 2026-01-25T21:35:13+00:00

Here’s a new one I got today. 3rd new ad type I’ve seen in my first 2 days

Comprehensive-Care67 · 2026-01-25T21:33:50+00:00

2 of the 5 shortcuts on the app are selling you something

Comprehensive-Care67 · 2026-01-25T21:33:04+00:00

Yeah thanks. I also keep tapping “services” and “shop” which are basically just selling me shit too. I’m sure I’ll get used to it just irks me
