Does it delete random pieces of your data if you give it a wrong answer?
No but allegedly, it starts over again
Jesus fuck.
I mean, it was inevitable, but it’s still grating that it’s here, right?
Yep. And now zero corporation oversight or repercussions. Welcome to the brave new world
Assuming you mean the election, “don’t worry”, fascists usually start meddling with the economy eventually.
Whether that means more or less ad watching, I can’t say.
Definitely more
Seriously? Dystopian shit.
- Ditch all paid streaming apps.
- Research how Stremio, Torrentio, and Real-Debrid work together.
- Never pay to see ads ever again.
Exactly, it’s really the perfect combination, to be honest. For what? $3 a month? Outrageous?
Or go to one of the streaming websites like 123 movies or whatnot and use an ad blocker. Same experience to an extent.
It’s €16 for 6 months of all the content you could ever care to stream, delivered straight to your living room. So yeah, about $2.75/mo USD for 1000x more content than any other streaming platform. Deal of the century.
I should also mention that the addon support for Stremio is huge, allowing you to customize your feed exactly how you like it. A good addon for example is Trakt.tv, which recommendeds content based on your viewing habits. Perfect for people who are too dependent on Netflix/Disney/Max/YouTube/etc. and their algorithms (me).
As the icing on the cake, Stremio also has HDR & Dolby Atmos support. Great for home theater geeks like me.
it’s very difficult for me to describe to other people how good this setup is. it’s not “check home assistant” good. it’s not “use 1password to store your passwords” good. it’s almost “just download more ram” good
Except you have to watch out and buy TVs that don’t show ads by themselves these days…
To prevent this from happening, you should always check RTINGS first before buying a TV (or any electronics, for that matter). Scroll down to the “Ad-Free” section for the review of the TV you’re considering.
Never heard of that place before, thank you. It looks quite promising!
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
It was a pretty good few years, but unfortunately the enshitification was a slow and painful burn at the end there…
Somebody better tell Sony about this. I’m sure they want to cash in from their patent being infringed.
:p /s
The dreaded future of advertising is here. Next step, in your face as you do your daily stuffs.
Why do you think smart eyewear is being boosted at CES?
McDonald’s!
Those adds they play real loud on the gas pumps are annoying af…and your not supposed to get back into your car while filling so you just have to stand there w that shit blaring at you. Circle K does this shit if you are trying to avoid it.
Despicable
“Our’research has determined that we can fill up to 90% of the visual field with advertisements before inducing seizures!”
Corporations all genuinely want to be that guy so fucking bad, just because they think that if they do become him, they might actually starry to finally feel something… anything. Or they think if they become that guy their father might say "I love you " for the first time or some other sad “this is why I’m a serial killer” shit.
Arrrrrhhhhhh
THERE ARE!!! FOUR ROWS!!!
Underrated Comment here.
I’m pretty sure they used to do this, at least a hundred years ago, way back when companies first realised that there’s endless free real estate for adverts on the internet. Always wondered why they stopped.
do they make you keep watching the ad until you get it right?

Please drink the verification can
I’m pretty over the whole “4chan dystopian joke becomes real life” thing. Corpo dickheads, you can stop now.
Why would anyone put up with the attack that is advertising? If it requires you to watch ads, it’s not worth it. You wouldn’t sit through a free movie if it meant a stranger showing up every few minutes and offering to let you rim them, (it’s not that no one wants what their offering, it’s that they don’t care whether you’re interested or not. They’re still going to show you their asshole) why would you allow a similar violation of your mind?
a free movie
That’s the point. The movie isn’t free. You pay for the admission by rimming that guy. If you don’t want to do that, go to a different cinema and pay with money.
How old are you? The reason I ask is because it was very common to watch movies with ads via free-to-air TV in the 90s, at least in families that didn’t have cable TV.
Similar violation? How in the actual fuck is watching a few ads in anyway whatsoever even close to what you described?
Why would anyone put up with the attack that is advertising?
It’s quite simple because not think the exact way you do and have the same priorities.
It’s pretty close tbh
Ads are annoying I give you that.
you’re right. at least, depending on the person, there’s a chance rimming could be enjoyable. not so with ads that quiz you.
I never claimed that ads aren’t annoying just that it’s bizarre to compare it to sexual harassment.
I’m, that’s how over the air broadcasting is funded. You watch commercials. It’s been this way since television started.
Ooh, I know the answer!
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.
