    What happens if you dont answer “correctly”?

      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.

    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.

      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?

          Funny enough, Hulu has been doing a paid+ads tier from the get-go, long before other services started jumping on this bandwagon.

          Never made sense to me why anyone would want it then, and it still doesn’t make sense even now that all the services are offering similar plans. People pining for that cable TV experience maybe?

    That’s really stupid, but there’s one (unimportant) thing I’m not understanding. When they ask the numbers of rows in the car, are they asking the number of rows of seats?
