Mildly Infuriating

"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 you continue to watch your show without answering? Or are you forced to watch the commercial and answenthe question to continue?

I mean, it's fine if they're doing research on the commercials themselves, and the answers show how much or little people actually pay attention. But if you can't continue your show without the right answer, that's a problem.

Dropped Hulu so very long ago.

Does it delete random pieces of your data if you give it a wrong answer?

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?

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.

Ooh, I know the answer!

They're really doing everything in their power to destroy their own business model, aren't they?

Hulu does this thing sometimes where you can choose which ad you want if two videos. Usually there is a timer to pick a default for you. I don't see a timer on the screen, but I'm still wondering if Lexus is using that feature for this ad. Did it not progress until you selected something?

What happens if you answer wrong?

If i ever am forced to answer a quiz like this, I will make a youtube video lambasting that product or service.

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

I found the answer! It's https://help.hulu.com/article/hulu-cancel-hulu-subscription

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.

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.

Next step: political adverts that quiz you on what you've just heard and repeat each segment if you get the answer wrong.

Just kidding though (or am I). This is truly some dystopian shit. My first reaction was what the actual fuck. And I bet you that their numbers aren't really going to hurt that much because of this. Mark my words.
