Good thing I pirate all their shit already if I want it.
I stopped paying for Amazon Prime over a year ago once they announced similar bullshit with their video service.
Once Disney dropped subscription sharing… I started downloading their shit too.
Now i’m left with Netflix and Crunchyroll. I’m this close to axing netflix. Crunchyroll is kinda shit but at least it’s cheap.
Ok. But the first one i see and im canceling
This what we would call false advertising in my country.
You can’t write: “NO ADS!*”
“*actually, maybe some ads, as a treat”
That’s just completely negating the headline claim
The biggest enabler of these are those bundles you get with cable / Internet providers. Do yourself a favor and buy these individually if at all so you can stop the subscriptions at any time without worries.
in Greece at least nobody gives you the option - unless it’s a very pricey service that you can pay as a package
Yo ho yo ho
Hasn’t Hulu had ads on their paid tiers for a long time now? I remember that being a big deal way back, so I never bothered with a subscription.
I want to believe that all this is really saying is that if Hulu ever does a live event there will be ads but only time will tell
I love my torrent subscription
So happy I can exist with no subscriptions!
And I am clarifying that as I continue to subscribe to this service, circumstances may require that my payments will exclude currency, and include regular visits to The Pir[REDACTED]te Bay.
Edit: sorry, Rule 2.
If those titles require ads, don’t include them in my feed. I don’t want to know they exist.
Welp, just canceled that subscription. They can fuck right off.
Yet another example of how paying for something doesn’t prevent enshitification.
Hulu was my Netflix alternative. If they start showing me ads I’m done with them too. Hopefully this was added for live events, sports, etc, but I don’t know if they deserve the benefit of the doubt.
Often times the ads are included in live streamed content like sports. Sports that don’t have ads like older MLB streams just show a weird “we will be back soon” title card because they are just simulcasting the cable broadcast.
