It’s finally here…
And the example they use is a guy shooting another guy on TV.

As long as it’s not a breast
You don’t have to answer the question you know. It’s shitty, yes, but it’s not forcing anything to happen.
The problem will not continue without answering
I’d cancel any service that did this to me.
Right? We don’t have nice things because we put up with bull crap.
This is a brand lift study. It’s almost worthless: Hulu is paid nearly zero for it. I can’t believe they’ve stooped this low to scrape so little incremental revenue with such a customer hostile tack. Their product and analytics people must truly suck and completely lack awareness of counter metrics.
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
All I know is that Lexus Texas (that is what TX means to me) sounds like the name of a porn star. Is that the message Lexus wanted me to take away from their advertising and branding?
Dropped Hulu so very long ago.

Immediate uninstall and cancel.
Fuck that.

I found the answer! It’s https://help.hulu.com/article/hulu-cancel-hulu-subscription
Hey Hulu, how many masts on my full-rigged ship?
Please drink the verification can
I would immediately cancel any service that does that.
I actively avoid advertising. I’ve cancelled Amazon prime now it has advertising.
I got Sky’s Internet TV here in the UK - a supposedly premium service yet the first VOD demand show I streamed I found it had adverts and you had to pay more to be able to fast forward through them. I immediately cancelled.
These companies are greedy as fuck, and driven by the stupidity of always trying to be “growing” to grow their share prices. That just means always trying to save money and take more money from their customers. Enshittification is a result of the stupidity of the stock markets.
I was on Amazon Prime for years.
Then in the space of one year they decided that listening to an album in order was now a “premium” feature, and that ads would be shovelled into everything.
Sure, I lost the “free” shipping, so now I hardly buy anything from Amazon either. I see this as an absolute win.
Is this fucking real? Get fucked, mainstream media, if this is the case. Plenty of books and old games to keep me occupied until Alzheimers hits, and then occupied again afterwards
This isn’t mainstream media.
This is capitalism.This is a company making a product, selling it for a given price, then making additional money from embedded ads.
Whether that ad revenue is additional profit, or to offset the actual cost of the item - because the sold it at a loss to beat their competitors - doesn’t really matter.
This is the consumer paying for something, and not getting a full and complete product
They’re really doing everything in their power to destroy their own business model, aren’t they?
Can’t be quizzed over ads if you pirate everything.
You can pirate the ads and quizzes
A friend of mine in college pirated a japanese show which included the ads. The first episode seemed to have subs with legitimate translations. The rest of the season the subtitle author had fun and changed them to make fun of the ads. It was pretty funny.
There were no quizzes though…
