If you answer wrong, what does it do? Refuse to show you any more of the program you are paying them to provide?
Oh wait, I know. It shows another ad, right? That's gotta be it. We'll keep showing you ads until you fucking pay attention!
So I think this might be getting misrepresented. Now I don't in anyway support"interactive ads" like this, but I'm pretty sure that is all this is. I actually had this exact commercial yesterday and didn't even realize that it was actually asking the question in a non-rhetorical way. So I didn't touch the remote and the commercial just plays out and ends as it would if the text wasn't on the screen. I don't know what happens if you actually answer the question. Hulu puts an ad countdown timer on the screen when ads are playing so you know how much of the ad is left and my show resumed at the time it said it would before the commercials started.
I'd be throwing the tv inside their store window. Fuck that noise
holy fucking shit and people give me the "you're a bad person" side-eye when i tell them there is such an easy way to never deal with that bullshit ever
That's really odd, I bring up piracy in conversation decently often (usually if I'm talking about a show and someone asks me if that's on Netflix/Prime/Disney+/Hulu or whatever and I have to tell them I haven't a clue)
The reaction had never been judgement, more so curiosity about how I go about my piracy.
Although I guess that's really more of an indication of the poor, anti-capitalist leftist types I tend to associate with than anything else :P
Is this real? I'm pretty sure this is ilegal in my country
What country and what law?
Quick edit: you know, if Hulu doesn't include anywhere that they do this, it could be seen as additional consideration (in the legal contractual term of the word - basically, what each party provides for the other) in order for Hulu to provide its service that wasn't disclosed.
Of course, that just means we'll get yet another "We updated our terms and while we're at it we're increasing our rates $3/month. Fuck You." email and that's that.
For one you don't have to answer it or anything. Many streaming platforms have been doing this for awhile.
Not what OP said over on the (now deleted) Reddit post:
So the ad was supposed to play in that black box and this is a bug?
I had Bob's Burgers on in the background but was playing a game with my kid. The silence caught my attention, but not at first. At first I assumed it was a, "choose your commercial" thing.
After some more time I thought maybe it was asking if I was still watching, that's when I looked up to see this
I waited, nothing. I made a verbal comment and the whole family started looking. We waited, nothing.
I grabbed my phone, snapped the pic, made the post (but didn't actually post it), and it was still sitting there.
I guessed an answer, got it right, and the show came back
Then I hit "post" to actually make the post.
Some people say it went away on its own. Others say, like me, they had to answer, and others said even after answering it didn't go away
I've had Bob's Burgers on all morning and I've yet to see this again
