    That’s what you get for paying instead of pirating.

      Paying for the unique opportunity to see the newest, moistest, and most intrusive ads*.

      *Also comes with a limited selection of movies and series.

      Yeah, but it’s not a new war. It’s an eternal war, and when those on top push too much, we push back. We call those stages revolutions, and maybe it’s time to remind those on top that when a revolution happens, their heads get separated from their bodies. So either give us back some freedoms, or blood will be spilt. And it won’t be our blood.

      I would expect another ad or the same one again but I don’t know

        I feel like the only even remotely acceptable way to do this is to show the ad, prompt for the answer for 10 seconds. They can log the right/wrong answer or if the time expires the lack of one and must move on.

        I can imagine metrics knowing if your advertising is actually reaching people is valid. But to make people answer and especially make them watch more if they answer wrong is about as dystopian as it gets.

        If (and I say if, I really don’t want to believe it is) that is the case, the only correct response is to uninstall Hulu immediately and put on your pirate hat.

          If this was the case, I’d enter the wrong answer every time just to fuck with their metrics

            Engaging in it by thinking about it and answering is going to make it stay in your mind longer and would be a success in the eyes of the advertisers.

      How would you feel if I took it from you?

      Correction: How do I take it from you?

      I think it’s time we move from threats to actions.

    I’d love to become rich, so I can keep on pirating as a statement. Or to show a rich guy how much better pirating is as a service.

    Maybe then we can get their attention and prove that enshittification is the problem, and not the cost.
