Aaarrr matey, this for sure wouldn’t be the reason why we pirate, would it?
Fuck all of this, I’m so sick and tired of technology advances leading to just more shit for money. I worked for only 9 months in a corporate environment that did shit like this and it nauseated me. Got fired for throwing the CTO under a freight train (figuratively) and never been happier for being fired.
Bleh.
This is awful.
“Please stand and yell “Mcdonalds” to end commercial”
I’d yell “Whopper beats a Big Mac!”
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.
what happens when you answer wrong?
Just a liitle electric shock.
It tells you the right answer. It then it froze up and crashed my Fire TV.
to be fair it does not take much for my fire tv stick to freeze up and crash
If it’s like captcha, the same thing as when you answer right… Start all over.
Will be interesting to see where this goes. I know I have said it before and they might not think im serious but so help me satan I will read books. Do they want that!
It’s a free service, right? It’s not a paid service, right?
Nope, you pay either way. I think it’s $10/mo for the ad supported tier, and $20/mo fke the ad free tier.
You pay to see ads.
My limited brain can’t understand the concept of pay+ads
People actually do that?
And I thought I couldn’t feel better about Jellyfin.
Yeah, we need a new war. This time against the rich.
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.
That’s not a new war. It’s the war behind all the other wars.
This is how I become radicalized.
You’re on lemmy, you’re already radicalised.
New season of Black Mirror looks lit af.
This is the kind of shit that makes me want to campaign on harassing marketers and advertisers personally.
“I’ve a question for you, Mr.Advertiser”
“Yes! Is it about how we can shovel more commercials to you?”
“No, it’s about what do you value in life and how would you feel if I took it from you, you parasite?”
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.
but but the shareholders 😭 they are endangered if not for these life support measures
Wrong answer, rewatch the ad and try again.
You joke but this is exactly how this specific ad works. My brother got it yesterday and he picked the wrong answer and the ad played again.
How is that legal, completely insane
Fuck me sideways. We need to dismantle capitalism like yesterday.
I have no sympathy for anyone losing profits to piracy.
What’s the purpose of this? You have to supply a correct answer to make the ad go away?
that’s some black mirror stuff
What happens if you dont answer “correctly”?
It plays again, but louder.
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.
In that case I’ll enter the left answer every time
