Hulu quizzing about the ads played : piracy

If you pick the wrong answer it plays an unskippable ad again and again until you have taken notes on the ad so you can be sure you pass the exam. Black mirror episode in real life.

Obligatory:

A decade ago this was a joke.

Now its basically here.

Only... what, 2 years until 'drink verification can to continue' is real?

You know Elon musk read that copypasta at some point and got moist.

The future I imagine is one with choices:

Test drive Lexus TX to continue

or

Insert verification suppository to continue

Love the reply from the advertising apologist

As if paying without social ownership ever stopped advertising from crawling back in.

Yes, you, Netflix.

Some people twist themselves into a pretzel to lick corporate boot, it never ceases to amaze me

DRINK VERIFICATION CAN

Cancel subscription and move on, don't just sigh and answer it. Companies try to milk us like malnourished cows, when people stop consenting to it then things will change.

The pot got 1 degree warmer 🐸

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This feels like multiple degrees

[–] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

Wow, they brought this shit back? I remember this from way back when Hulu was free.

[–] xia@lemmy.sdf.org 17 points 1 year ago

A quiz to let you continue using your device?

[–] realitista@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

Sorry they would have to pay me to use some bullshit like this.

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Oh look, now I don't have to even consider getting a Lexus or a Hulu subscription!

Yo ho ho and fiddle-dee-dee, the pirate's life is the life for me!

[–] Agathon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 year ago

Arrr, that be terrible!
