Its provably an advertising regulation thing where they have to put it up front to not get sued?

There’s something so on-the-nose about having “with ads” as part of a subscription tier’s official name. For decades companies have been coming up with euphemisms for their low-cost services (e.g. “economy class” on airlines, “community edition” for freemium software). But now here we are with Disney pretty much saying “Go watch ads you poor bitch”. It’s the death of a euphemism. They’re selling a crappy service, and they aren’t afraid to say it.

Wonder if we could get cable service to add “with ads” to every tier they have lmao

Disney is also actively arguing in court that if you use the free trial you can’t sue them for anything. Ever.
Even if you die in one of their Hotels because one of their restaurants didn’t care about your allergy
So there’s that to worry about now.

What the hell. I hope the judge tells Disney where to shove their arbitration clause.

I want the judge to fine them for this absurdity.

But I can’t use the same logic to yarr-harr their content even though I pay for the subscription. It comes with Hulu Live TV + no ads so I have to have it.
