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
Yeah imagine someone shooting a q breast.
Imagine a guy breasting another guy.
America, Fuck Yeah
Its the second comercial
Cyberpunk 2077 call out
You don’t have to answer the question you know. It’s shitty, yes, but it’s not forcing anything to happen.
Not yet…
Error. Please drink a verification can.
Classic
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.
Immediate uninstall and cancel.
Fuck that.

I already don’t subscribe to Hulu, but I want to do my part to fight this.
Is there something I can do actively to cost them money?
Help teach other people to pirate
I found the answer! It’s https://help.hulu.com/article/hulu-cancel-hulu-subscription
And while you’re at it, you should also try this:
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 productMainstream media and capitalism are part of the same bullshit
No, mainstream media is part of capitalism.
Specifically shitty mainstream media (I’m sure there are some mainstream media providers that aren’t shitty).This is a shitty product.
This is a shitty product that is part of capitalism.
This is a shitty product that is part of capitalism which happens to show mainstream media.But this isn’t mainstream media.
Mainstream media would want in on the ad revenue. Mainstream media would facilitate & encourage this.
This is just a shitty product from a shitty company capitalising on shitty practices.
Edit:
I guess “part of the same bullshit” is correct.
But it’s placing the blame on the wrong thingYeah, I had to really masticate on my phrasing for a while and never really settled on a statement that reflected properly my true meaning. Glad you could see where I was coming from
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…
I would love to watch that.
There’s oodles of torrents on one of my private trackers labeled WOC—With original commercials. I LOVE THEM, such a fascinating look into my childhood.
I refuse to watch any commercials made since 2006.
I was wondering how I should prepare for the tests
Piracy is a hassle, the convenience of streaming made the cost worthwhile. They’ve forgotten this. Once the cost outweighs the convenience, the hassle won’t seem like such a hassle anymore.
It’s not a hassle at all. I use my phone to tell my computer what I’m interested in watching. It automatically downloads that, and when I’m ready to watch something it streams to my TV. After I’m done with it, my computer removes it.
As a person who uses stremio; not only is it not more of a hassle than streaming services, it’s WAY less. Astronomically so. You set it up once and you have literally everything
Kodi, Seren add-on and a debrid provider like Premiumize gets me better service than any streaming provider. Multiple source streams on any show in the last couple decades and every movie way earlier than is available from any source I’ve ever seen. If its not available as a cached stream, I can queue a torrent file at their end and stack them up until I’m ready to watch it, but I’ve rarely had to do that.
Only upfront effort. Downloading is almost as much of a hassle as choosing what to play tonight.
Once it’s on the disk it’s fair game.Back in my day, it was a much more involved process.
Once it’s on the disk it’s fair game.
Do people really rewatch stuff that often?
Fair game as in “What do I watch today” because the movie was already pre-loaded.
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.
same i was really buying a lot of pointless shit it turns out lol
I cancelled Prime over a year ago and for some reason I still get “Prime” delivery. I don’t get the games, movies, or Twitch stuff but if I order something it shows up faster than when my partner does.
So, I don’t hate that about Amazon… Everything else keeps me from ordering there unless there’s no other options.
It’s as if they want you to torrent stuff again.
And funnily I feel less worse than the last time (before netflix arose)…
I cancelled Amazon Prime the second they sent me that email.
My GF then got her own subscription within less than a month so it nets out as 0 loss to Bezos in the end…
Sometimes i imagine him pointing and laughing at me
Sky really pisses me off. They have exclusive rights to the F1 in the UK, but you need to pay a fortune for it, as you have to have the base sky package plus sky sports (I think) plus sky sports F1.
Probably comes to over £50/month for something that’s on every other weekend on average, and they still show ads! If there’s a subscription, there shouldn’t be any ads.
If all you want is F1, and you kniw someone who lives ina country where F1TV is available, try booking F1TV through them. It’s 50€/year.
Yep and its never going to get better if you stay, only worse
Drink verification can to continue
Shove it up your ass to make daddy happy
Insert verification dildo and yell McDonald’s when you climax to end commercial.
Extremely infuriating. Fuck that, pirate hat stays firmly in place.
Yep my media server is better quality and I can share it with my friends
Please drink the verification can
Somewhere someone thought this was a good idea.
Fuck that individual specifically, fuck head…
We need a name
Das Capital.
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
Man, I’m so mad I want to upvote this, even though I think it’s a lot more complicated than that.
It’s just a historical fact
“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.”
JFK
Yeah, but just to pick one example, elites are entirely capable of being scared for their lives and being evil. That pretty much describes most historical systems. If you were serious about making change (which, let’s be honest, is pretty rare), you’d need a much better, more detailed plan.
Every movement is demonized by the billionaire media, whether or not people agree with it. Consent is effectively manufactured for our government to crush dissent on behalf of their donors.
If you come up with something let me know, but in the mean time we will probably see more vigilanties.
Spider-Man was an odd choice. He’s one of the few popular superheroes who’s working class.
And you’re expecting them to lay out their entire plan when clearly all they wanted to do here was just express how they feel?
OP really read more like a suggestion or fact than a statement of personal feeling. Otherwise, yeah, I would have just upvoted it.
If you are paying for this shit, you are part of the problem.
Or just tolerating this shit, if you have the “fuck me with ads only” plan.
🏴☠️
hulu is owned by disney. encourage canceling disney+ too just for good measure
Aaaannnnd this just resolidifies my decision to not engage with streaming services. What a load of shit.
