FTR, I bought my 55" LG OLED (OLED55C7P C7) in May 2017. It is on 6 - 8 hours each day. I have noticed no degradation of the display in any way. It still looks gorgeous especially with a high quality hi-def source like 4K Blue-ray. 
I have noticed every couple months it will yell at me, telling me it is going to or has already run a self-maintenance "Pixel Refresher" routine. I don't know if this refresher routine is actually doing any good because I don't really notice any before and after difference. But then that is why you do "routine" maintenance on things - to "keep" them running optimally.
So again, after nearly 5 years, the blues are brilliant and I see no evidence of any burn in or other image quality problems. And I have recently had guests (with younger eyes) come over and ask if that was a new TV because it looked so good.
All I can say now is when this LG OLED finally dies, I will definitely get another LG OLED TV. That's the best endorsement I can offer.

My LG b9 55" from 2019 is still going strong. Only mitigations i Have done are dark mode where possible and a screensaver. Otherwise, 100% brightness/contrast all the time on a pure PC desktop with occasional gaming. No burn in. I really doubt it's even relevant anymore.
The Pixel refresher runs at regular intervals in firmware, yeah. I too don't even think it needs it half the time, but let it do its thing. Figure LG knows best.
