Do they stop letting you watch the show if you get it wrong? What purpose does this serve other than pissing people off
If it happens to me I’ll immediately cancel and pirate over i2p just to spite them.
Why wait for it to happen to you personally?
I don’t really like the shit quality associated with pirating online; I resort to renting Blu-rays and dumping them to my NAS.
This is the correct response.
If I value a show/movie enough I’ll purchase it then rip the Blu-ray, but if it’s a show that’s only watchable by legal means over ad-supported streaming then fuck ‘em.
Some dick head came up with an idea and some high up numpty liked it so no one dared to say no?
I have no idea if this is the case since I don't use Hulu, but I'm guessing if you pick the wrong one they could make you watch another segment of the ad with the right answer to help correct you or something.
I’ve never understood why people use Hulu out of all the streaming services.
It’s included in my cell plan and ublock works on it
Futurama, It's Always Sunny, Letterkenny. Basically all my go to shows.
Because families get it for Disney+ to let Moana/Spiderman/Elsa babysit their kids during the day and figure "Heck, why not add the extra little cost to get Hulu with it since we're already paying so much?"
It's a great thing that Disney was allowed to buy Fox under the blessing of the Trump FTC, isn't it?
It begins...
It begins with this and ends with unrepentant piracy. This is them saying "fuck you" to you, piracy is the best way of saying it back.
Waaayyyy ahead of you matey
Son, the beginning was so long ago that many people have no experience of before.
