blanket lazy statement? Sorry, I just wanted to respond and be concise… but here… let me write you a fucking essay I guess.
It was awhile ago but I was at a friends place and she was watching a version of Hulu that had ad’s but she was being prompted to pick an ad instead of the ad’s just coming on. She got like three choices and after you picked one and watched the ad, there would even be a survey for the ad.
Now, this is something that happened probably a year ago now cause I don’t hang out with her anymore. So I could be wrong in that it was Hulu, I think it could have also been an ad version of Amazon’s streaming service. She was one of those people that uses a ton of other people’s passwords to stream stuff. You know before a lot of them blocked that. Again, like a year or so ago.
I mentioned YouTube Tv because that’s what I have. And I did choose to get it fully knowing it had ad’s and that I wanted there to be ad’s. Please let me know how that isn’t a choice or how that isn’t me choosing to see ads.
I also have a ton of VHS recordings spanning back to fucking late 70s that have ads in them! And I have those because of the fucking ads!
Like sorry but this is a choice for me. I think ads from the past are interesting and I like being able to compare them to now. Sorry I’m just that rare kind of nerd.
but I get it. You’re worried the world has been taken over by ad’s and that’s why we’re living in a dystopia. You said future but I’m in the US lmao. It’s already dystopian here. Like too late.
Also I’ve heard a lot of people are like, falling out of favor with shitty streaming services and they’re doing what I’ve been doing for years now. Going back to physical media. See, I’m not worried cause where I’m at, its fine to watch cable tv and collect VHS tapes and DVDs.
