  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.

    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.

      Disney has asked a Florida court to dismiss a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the husband of a Long Island doctor. The lawsuit claims that Dr. Kanokporn Tangsuan suffered a fatal allergic reaction after eating at a Disney Springs restaurant despite repeatedly informing the waiter of her severe allergy. Disney is calling for the lawsuit to be dismissed because her husband signed up for a one-month trial of the Disney+ streaming service years prior.

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

      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.

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

  Imagine suscribe to YouTube premium and still watch ads…

    Imagine subscribing to YouTube instead of just newpiping that shit.

    source

    • skulblaka@sh.itjust.works ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I have really, really mixed feelings about this. On one hand I understand that YouTube is a business and Google needs it to at least approach profitability. If nobody watches ads and nobody pays for premium, there’s no profit. No profit means the adpocalypse gets worse to make up costs, or else the service gets shut down.

      On the other hand YouTube is such trash compared to what it was even just a couple years ago that I also use an alternate front-end.

      I don’t want it to disappear because I really don’t think anyone else has the resources to do what Google has done with YouTube. If we lose YouTube, especially if we lose it and aren’t left with access to the data store of existing videos, we’ve lost an incredible amount of information. Millions of hours of tutorials and good information will be taken away from the world, not to even mention the billions of hours of entertainment. I don’t want to lose YouTube and what it means for international informational accessibility. But I’m also not going to sit through twice as many ads as I have video.

      I foresee YouTube going to a cable-TV-like subscription only model in the future. I don’t like it. But I don’t see how else they actually lift themselves out of this hole they’ve dug.

  Also, if you agree to this and your wife dies due to allergies in one of your theme parks, they may use the TOS on this trial to rule you agreed to binding arbitration in court.

    As far as I’m concerned that bullshit makes it a moral imperative to pirate as much Disney+ content as possible. Like I’m going to torrent shit and seed it even if I don’t watch it.

  The first ad that autoplays after subscribing is the cursed videotape from The Ring. Then 7 days later Samara’s ghost crawls out of your tv.

  So the ads are “on them”? What does that mean? I have honestly no idea. Why is there a “on us”?

  source

  • renzev@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    The name of the subscription tier is “Disney+ Standard with Ads”. So you’re meant to parse it like “Subscribe and get 7 days of [subscription] on us”. But yeah it’s total word salad. It’s like they’re deliberately trying to weed out people with common sense.

• kamen@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  This promo aside, it’s ridiculous that people are okay with paying and still seeing ads (and to think of it, it’s been like this since the days of cable).

  A free to use but ad-supported tier is totally understandable, but the way we have it today is borderline absurd.
