That's what you get for paying instead of pirating.

    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.

    This is how I become radicalized.

    Yeah, we need a new war. This time against the rich.

    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.

    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.

    If this was the case, I'd enter the wrong answer every time just to fuck with their metrics

    Engaging in it by thinking about it and answering is going to make it stay in your mind longer and would be a success in the eyes of the advertisers.

    Just checked; this doesn’t appear on the latest version of Jellyfin with pirated media.

    This is the kind of shit that makes me want to campaign on harassing marketers and advertisers personally.

    "I've a question for you, Mr.Advertiser"

    "Yes! Is it about how we can shovel more commercials to you?"

    "No, it's about what do you value in life and how would you feel if I took it from you, you parasite?"

    What's the purpose of this? You have to supply a correct answer to make the ad go away?

    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.

    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.

    Bleh.

    This is awful.

    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?
