How many? Turn off TV, unsubscribe from Hulu rows.
Exactly, it's really the perfect combination, to be honest. For what? $3 a month? Outrageous?
Or go to one of the streaming websites like 123 movies or whatnot and use an ad blocker. Same experience to an extent.
It's €16 for 6 months of all the content you could ever care to stream, delivered straight to your living room. So yeah, about $2.75/mo USD for 1000x more content than any other streaming platform. Deal of the century.
I should also mention that the addon support for Stremio is huge, allowing you to customize your feed exactly how you like it. A good addon for example is Trakt.tv, which recommendeds content based on your viewing habits. Perfect for people who are too dependent on Netflix/Disney/Max/YouTube/etc. and their algorithms (me).
As the icing on the cake, Stremio also has HDR & Dolby Atmos support. Great for home theater geeks like me.
Except you have to watch out and buy TVs that don't show ads by themselves these days...
To prevent this from happening, you should always check RTINGS first before buying a TV (or any electronics, for that matter). Scroll down to the "Ad-Free" section for the review of the TV you're considering.
Am I behind the times? I don't use a television. I use a desktop computer with monitors. The television itself will show ads.?
All I know is that Lexus Texas (that is what TX means to me) sounds like the name of a porn star. Is that the message Lexus wanted me to take away from their advertising and branding?
Alexis Texas was so goddamn hot. One of the best asses in porn.
ass as big as a punch bowl, and as supple as a jello shot.
🤌
Yo ho yo ho
"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.
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?
How old are you? The reason I ask is because it was very common to watch movies with ads via free-to-air TV in the 90s, at least in families that didn't have cable TV. Not all families could afford to buy more and more movies on VHS.
Yeah, there's a history here. That being said, newspapers have included ads and purchase fees for a long time AFAIK.
I'm, that's how over the air broadcasting is funded. You watch commercials. It's been this way since television started.
a free movie
That’s the point. The movie isn’t free. You pay for the admission by rimming that guy. If you don’t want to do that, go to a different cinema and pay with money.
Please drink the verification can
I'm pretty over the whole "4chan dystopian joke becomes real life" thing. Corpo dickheads, you can stop now.
Does it delete random pieces of your data if you give it a wrong answer?
No but allegedly, it starts over again
Jesus fuck.
I mean, it was inevitable, but it's still grating that it's here, right?
Yep. And now zero corporation oversight or repercussions. Welcome to the brave new world
Assuming you mean the election, "don't worry", fascists usually start meddling with the economy eventually.
Whether that means more or less ad watching, I can't say.
Definitely more
Seriously? Dystopian shit.
Dropped Hulu so very long ago.
