    Do they stop letting you watch the show if you get it wrong? What purpose does this serve other than pissing people off

      If it happens to me I’ll immediately cancel and pirate over i2p just to spite them.

          If I value a show/movie enough I’ll purchase it then rip the Blu-ray, but if it’s a show that’s only watchable by legal means over ad-supported streaming then fuck ‘em.

          I don’t really like the shit quality associated with pirating online; I resort to renting Blu-rays and dumping them to my NAS.

            Then you’re not pirating the right stuff……

              ……

              So edgy.

              Yeah no, audio is easy because FLAC is everywhere but Blu-ray rips and the like are 99% of the time re-encoded and look like shit. Give me the BDMV or GTFO.

      I have no idea if this is the case since I don’t use Hulu, but I’m guessing if you pick the wrong one they could make you watch another segment of the ad with the right answer to help correct you or something.

    I’ve never understood why people use Hulu out of all the streaming services.

      Because families get it for Disney+ to let Moana/Spiderman/Elsa babysit their kids during the day and figure “Heck, why not add the extra little cost to get Hulu with it since we’re already paying so much?”

      It’s a great thing that Disney was allowed to buy Fox under the blessing of the Trump FTC, isn’t it?
