If you are paying for this shit, you are part of the problem.

Or just tolerating this shit, if you have the "fuck me with ads only" plan.

I'm not sure even that even sways them. They think it won't happen to them.

Because right now they think he was a lone nut job. It couldn't possibly happen again. We need to prove them wrong.

How many? Turn off TV, unsubscribe from Hulu rows.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 45 points 2 days ago (7 children)
  1. Ditch all paid streaming apps.
  2. Research how Stremio, Torrentio, and Real-Debrid work together.
  3. Never pay to see ads ever again.

I would immediately cancel any service that does that.

I actively avoid advertising. I've cancelled Amazon prime now it has advertising.

I got Sky's Internet TV here in the UK - a supposedly premium service yet the first VOD demand show I streamed I found it had adverts and you had to pay more to be able to fast forward through them. I immediately cancelled.

These companies are greedy as fuck, and driven by the stupidity of always trying to be "growing" to grow their share prices. That just means always trying to save money and take more money from their customers. Enshittification is a result of the stupidity of the stock markets.

[–] Blackmist 56 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I was on Amazon Prime for years.

Then in the space of one year they decided that listening to an album in order was now a "premium" feature, and that ads would be shovelled into everything.

Sure, I lost the "free" shipping, so now I hardly buy anything from Amazon either. I see this as an absolute win.

I'd cancel any service that did this to me.

[–] SuperNovaStar@lemmy.blahaj.zone 76 points 3 days ago

Right? We don't have nice things because we put up with bull crap.

[–] Sunsofold@lemmings.world 51 points 3 days ago (9 children)

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?

Immediate uninstall and cancel.

Fuck that.

All I know is that Lexus Texas (that is what TX means to me) sounds like the name of a porn star. Is that the message Lexus wanted me to take away from their advertising and branding?

"Our'research has determined that we can fill up to 90% of the visual field with advertisements before inducing seizures!"

Corporations all genuinely want to be that guy so fucking bad, just because they think that if they do become him, they might actually starry to finally feel something... anything. Or they think if they become that guy their father might say "I love you " for the first time or some other sad "this is why I'm a serial killer" shit.

Can’t be quizzed over ads if you pirate everything.

Is this fucking real? Get fucked, mainstream media, if this is the case. Plenty of books and old games to keep me occupied until Alzheimers hits, and then occupied again afterwards

[–] towerful@programming.dev 97 points 3 days ago (6 children)

This isn't mainstream media.
This is capitalism.

This is a company making a product, selling it for a given price, then making additional money from embedded ads.
Whether that ad revenue is additional profit, or to offset the actual cost of the item - because the sold it at a loss to beat their competitors - doesn't really matter.
This is the consumer paying for something, and not getting a full and complete product

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.

Theyre making it easier to switch back to pirating by the day

[–] westyvw@lemm.ee 45 points 3 days ago

When Hulu still had ads when you bought a subscription, I swore I would never pay them ever again. That was around 2014. I have stuck to it, and every year I am reminded why. Fuck Hulu.

[–] ech@lemm.ee 54 points 3 days ago

Aaaannnnd this just resolidifies my decision to not engage with streaming services. What a load of shit.

[–] spiritsong@lemmy.world 36 points 3 days ago (6 children)

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.
