That's what you get for paying instead of pirating.
-
Paying for the unique opportunity to see the newest, moistest, and most intrusive ads*.
Also comes with a limited selection of movies and series.
-
-
Just checked; this doesn’t appear on the latest version of Jellyfin with pirated media.
-
Drink Verification Can to proceed,
-
-
And I thought I couldn't feel better about Jellyfin.
-
Oh, wow, at least in Black Mirror they only made sure your eyes were open, you didn't need to pay attention.
-
Wrong answer, rewatch the ad and try again.
-
You 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.
-
I have no sympathy for anyone losing profits to piracy.
-
Fuck me sideways. We need to dismantle capitalism like yesterday.
-
How is that legal, completely insane
-
-
-
"Please stand and yell "Mcdonalds" to end commercial"
-
Isn't this patent infringement? Sony patented that, right? Hulu should be allowed to use that.
-
I'd yell "Whopper beats a Big Mac!"
-
-
This is how I become radicalized.
-
You're on lemmy, you're already radicalised.
-
-
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.
-
-
It plays again, but louder.
-
-
Yeah, we need a new war. This time against the rich.
-
That's not a new war. It's the war behind all the other wars.
-
Yeah, 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.

-
Aaarrr 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.
-
You're not sick of technology you're sick of not having real control of technology
-
-
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.
-
New season of Black Mirror looks lit af.
-
what happens when you answer wrong?
-
It tells you the right answer. It then it froze up and crashed my Fire TV.
-
Just a liitle electric shock.
-
If it's like captcha, the same thing as when you answer right... Start all over.
-
Will be interesting to see where this goes. I know I have said it before and they might not think im serious but so help me satan I will read books. Do they want that!
-
-
-
Lol wtf
-
What's the purpose of this? You have to supply a correct answer to make the ad go away?
-
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?
-
Bleh.
This is awful.
