You seem to be hurt by modern subscriptions, take this, it will give you strength.
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?
I’m, that’s how over the air broadcasting is funded. You watch commercials. It’s been this way since television started.
Similar violation? How in the actual fuck is watching a few ads in anyway whatsoever even close to what you described?

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.
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.
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.
Is this real? I’m pretty sure this is ilegal in my country
What country and what law?
Quick edit: you know, if Hulu doesn’t include anywhere that they do this, it could be seen as additional consideration (in the legal contractual term of the word - basically, what each party provides for the other) in order for Hulu to provide its service that wasn’t disclosed.
Of course, that just means we’ll get yet another “We updated our terms and while we’re at it we’re increasing our rates $3/month. Fuck You.” email and that’s that.
People say stuff like that and I’m like, what’s the actual law? “It feels bad so it’s probably illegal.”
This particular brand of bullshit is so new I doubt there’s any legislation out there. Maybe an existing consumer protection law could be bent to fit?
For one you don’t have to answer it or anything. Many streaming platforms have been doing this for awhile.
Not what OP said over on the (now deleted) Reddit post:
So the ad was supposed to play in that black box and this is a bug?
I had Bob’s Burgers on in the background but was playing a game with my kid. The silence caught my attention, but not at first. At first I assumed it was a, “choose your commercial” thing.
After some more time I thought maybe it was asking if I was still watching, that’s when I looked up to see this
I waited, nothing. I made a verbal comment and the whole family started looking. We waited, nothing.
I grabbed my phone, snapped the pic, made the post (but didn’t actually post it), and it was still sitting there.
I guessed an answer, got it right, and the show came back
Then I hit “post” to actually make the post.
Some people say it went away on its own. Others say, like me, they had to answer, and others said even after answering it didn’t go away
I’ve had Bob’s Burgers on all morning and I’ve yet to see this again
you must live in one of those real countries I’ve only read about.
Imagine not living on a super mega gatorade plantation
I bet, like, they don’t even have freedom or whatever.
Fucking losers amirite?
I heard their women don’t work after giving birth. Sometimes up to a year!
How disgusting is that?! Think of all that lost productivity, lost profit to day care, no lunches at local fast slop, no wear and tear pm the vehicles. Like really hurting the system but not participating. Very problematic behaviour.
Thank god, not on my America!
Sounds like they should be in jail for communism to me!
But it’s got electrolytes! It’s what plants crave.

do they make you keep watching the ad until you get it right?
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.
That’s exactly what I was thinking.
I love when instagram goes: “have you heard about …?” Presumably asking this as they just showed me an ad about it that i completely ignored and i just go “no i haven’t”.
The only use of showing me ads is them getting paid and wasting my time. I don’t pay attention to them because i either don’t need/want it, just bought it or can’t afford it.
It’s been a long time since i bought something as a result of watching an ad.
The effect of ads is usually not directly linked to a specific product.
If, for example, you need a new box of laundry detergent, you’ll go to the supermarket. There you might find brand A, which you’ve never heard of, or brand B, which had an ad you’ve seen or heard somewhere. Studies have shown you’ll be more likely to buy brand B, because you’ll find it more trustworthy, which is because you’ve heard about it somewhere.
So, a lot of ads aren’t solely about a specific product, but also about making their brand perform better in the long run. Therefore, even if an ad is just making noise on the background, it may still have an effect on you. And, since it’s a subliminal process, it’s extremely difficult to make a concious decision to not buy products you’ve seen or heard ads of.
And, since it’s a subliminal process, it’s extremely difficult to make a concious decision to not buy products you’ve seen or heard ads of.
Instead, I make a conscious decision to not buy products I remember seeing or hearing ads of. If you’re using subtle product placement to subliminally manipulate me in a way I don’t notice, good for you. If it’s obvious enough I remember you doing it then I will not buy your product unless it is already the best deal available (aka the cheapest per unit or best quality per price, excepting products I have had a bad experience with).
Yeah i’m too weird for ads it seems.
I just buy whichever has the best price per kg. I make a normale mortal wage i can’t afford to get used to such luxuries like paying double to get the Nutella that actually says Nutella on it.
I feel for everyone who makes an equal wage and doesn’t have the ability to see food as fuel.
Yeah, that’s all true, but I’ve still got 500 things I need to spend money on before buying a Lexus. Ads for luxury cars are wasted on us poors.
hulu is owned by disney. encourage canceling disney+ too just for good measure
Thank you. Came to see if anyone had done this, was not disappointed
Somewhere someone thought this was a good idea.
Fuck that individual specifically, fuck head…
We need a name
Das Capital.
That image is 100% the academic quadrangle at Simon Fraser University. Hah.
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?
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.
McDonald’s!
Despicable
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.
Hey Hulu, how many masts on my full-rigged ship?
