    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.

      I’m, that’s how over the air broadcasting is funded. You watch commercials. It’s been this way since television started.

      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.

        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.

    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.

    I genuinely don’t understand why people still use Hulu when you can watch the same shit in better bitrate with no ads and no subscription

    We’re not even talking about a Plex server or anything just freakin stream it off the 1000 trusted sources

    The liberal mind is full of mysteries

      So uh. Just wanna get your input here.

      What single detail stands out to you as “liberal” here?

      I’m sure I’ll be fascinated by your answer.

        It’s an .ml user if you don’t jump through their hoops then you’re not a real leftist and they’ll call you a “liberal” like they’re a fucking MAGAt.

    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.

    Hulu does this thing sometimes where you can choose which ad you want if two videos. Usually there is a timer to pick a default for you. I don’t see a timer on the screen, but I’m still wondering if Lexus is using that feature for this ad. Did it not progress until you selected something?

        I think it usually is, but I haven’t seen very many of these and I try to ignore ads as a form of protest lol.

      That’s really odd, I bring up piracy in conversation decently often (usually if I’m talking about a show and someone asks me if that’s on Netflix/Prime/Disney+/Hulu or whatever and I have to tell them I haven’t a clue)

      The reaction had never been judgement, more so curiosity about how I go about my piracy.

      Although I guess that’s really more of an indication of the poor, anti-capitalist leftist types I tend to associate with than anything else :P
