that image is wonderful! And its spot on. People just want the content, none of the extra bullshit that they classicly tack on. And denying someone who just bought a dvd the ability to skip over all that nonsense is downright sinister; and they wonder why people want to pirate.

There was a long ad on hulu for some drug that had nothing to do with me. At first I said "swap ad" but then that option magically disappeared the next time I saw it, so I said "no" to the "is this ad relevant to you?" question... about 5 times. Still kept appearing during every. single. commercial. Downright infuriating. But clearly there's some logic behind the scenes where no matter if they swap it, or say its not relevant, or even pay for hulu plus; that ad should play because the company paid a lot of money for it to be played; and it doesn't matter how many times a user has had to sit through it.

And that's the thing. They don't give a shit about you. They don't even try. We're just a product for them.
