It's really getting to the point where people who know to stay off social media, pirate their stuff, and never post their name or anything personal online are gonna be living in a different PLANET as the people that are ok with this.

Keep jacking the price up and shittifying the service.
Do streaming services understand why we dumped cable....like at all?
replies:
Literally cancelled all of my subscriptions first time I got an ad on Amazon Prime. I knew it was just going to be the first among all of them, so I went from spending like $70 a month on all of the subscription services I had to $6 per month for a VPN. They could not PAY ME to watch their garbage ads, much less convince me to pay them for the privilege.

just isn't strong enough anymore
replies:
What does this mean? It doesn't specify what "ai generated" advertising is. Are they going to try to generate an ad in the context of what you're watching so you don't know it's not part of the show? or..?
replies:
I look forward to the lawsuit because the AI advertised a new car or something that doesn't exist for like $500.
replies:
Netflix is launching an ad platform and advertising it by running slop thru it? It's the lorem ipsum of streaming.

Reject modernity. Return to VCR.
are the ads going to start out having gratuitous nudity and then tone it down in the third season?
replies:
Ahoy.

replies:
Cool, well if reactionaries are given the green light that it’s ok to criminalize certain groups solely because the normals^TM^ find their existence annoying, then I hope both generative AI and also advertising both get banned just for annoying me.
haha these assholes are actually make people go outside to relax shheeeeit
The most evilly clever thing they did was introduce mandatory hardware link encryption (HDCP) to prevent using a VCR, dvd-recorder, DVR, etc to record streaming content. And by not having their own DVR they'll be in a position when they wish to have for the first time since the late 90s (well over 30 years at this point) the population in a place where they cannot skip ads at all, the technology, the ability carefully murdered and the population trained like dogs to accept it. Add on the fact it's on-demand instead of something a box can passively pick out of a multiplexed signal and even if that wasn't an issue it's just not practical to record and watch later a bunch of streaming series.
