Engywook ( @Engywuck@lemm.ee ) English113•2 months agoThat’s what you get for paying instead of pirating.
Ekky ( @ekky@sopuli.xyz ) English48•2 months agoPaying for the unique opportunity to see the newest, moistest, and most intrusive ads*.
*Also comes with a limited selection of movies and series.

Jeena ( @jeena@piefed.jeena.net ) English71•2 months agoOh, wow, at least in Black Mirror they only made sure your eyes were open, you didn’t need to pay attention.
lnxtx (xe/xem/xyr) ( @lnxtx@feddit.nl ) English55•2 months agoWrong answer, rewatch the ad and try again.
PerogiBoi ( @PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca ) English55•2 months agoYou joke but this is exactly how this specific ad works. My brother got it yesterday and he picked the wrong answer and the ad played again.
y0kai ( @y0kai@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English38•2 months agoI have no sympathy for anyone losing profits to piracy.
LoamImprovement ( @LoamImprovement@beehaw.org ) English23•2 months agoFuck me sideways. We need to dismantle capitalism like yesterday.

aiden ( @aiden@lemm.ee ) English4•2 months agoIsn’t this patent infringement? Sony patented that, right? Hulu should be allowed to use that.
djsaskdja ( @djsaskdja@reddthat.com ) English40•2 months agoThis is how I become radicalized.
krimsonbun ( @krimsonbun@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) English38•2 months agoYou’re on lemmy, you’re already radicalised.
state_electrician ( @state_electrician@discuss.tchncs.de ) English40•2 months agoAnd I thought I couldn’t feel better about Jellyfin.
atro_city ( @atro_city@fedia.io ) 37•2 months agoYeah, we need a new war. This time against the rich.
Tinidril ( @Tinidril@midwest.social ) English40•2 months agoThat’s not a new war. It’s the war behind all the other wars.
theshatterstone54 ( @theshatterstone54@feddit.uk ) English11•2 months agoYeah, but it’s not a new war. It’s an eternal war, and when those on top push too much, we push back. We call those stages revolutions, and maybe it’s time to remind those on top that when a revolution happens, their heads get separated from their bodies. So either give us back some freedoms, or blood will be spilt. And it won’t be our blood.
ExcessShiv ( @ExcessShiv@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English29•2 months agoWhat happens if you dont answer “correctly”?
Micromot ( @Micromot@feddit.org ) English25•2 months agoI would expect another ad or the same one again but I don’t know
r00ty ( @r00ty@kbin.life ) 22•2 months agoI 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.
datavoid ( @datavoid@lemmy.ml ) English7•2 months agoIf this was the case, I’d enter the wrong answer every time just to fuck with their metrics
_cryptagion [he/him] ( @_cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English25•2 months agoJust checked; this doesn’t appear on the latest version of Jellyfin with pirated media.
Soulifix ( @Soulifix@kbin.melroy.org ) 23•2 months agoThis is the kind of shit that makes me want to campaign on harassing marketers and advertisers personally.
“I’ve a question for you, Mr.Advertiser”
“Yes! Is it about how we can shovel more commercials to you?”
“No, it’s about what do you value in life and how would you feel if I took it from you, you parasite?”
SitD ( @SitD@lemy.lol ) English5•2 months agobut but the shareholders 😭 they are endangered if not for these life support measures
theshatterstone54 ( @theshatterstone54@feddit.uk ) English4•2 months agoHow would you feel if I took it from you?
Correction: How do I take it from you?
I think it’s time we move from threats to actions.

theshatterstone54 ( @theshatterstone54@feddit.uk ) English11•2 months agoI’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.
Phoenixz ( @phoenixz@lemmy.ca ) English11•2 months agoAaarrr matey, this for sure wouldn’t be the reason why we pirate, would it?
Fuck all of this, I’m so sick and tired of technology advances leading to just more shit for money. I worked for only 9 months in a corporate environment that did shit like this and it nauseated me. Got fired for throwing the CTO under a freight train (figuratively) and never been happier for being fired.
