PhilosipherStoned Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 (edited) This is supposed to be a Hulu plus free trial too. It's definitely overrated if I gotta see this screen every 5 fucking minutes with all my ad blockers off and a plus subscription.

The_annoying_one Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Because advertisements allow them to provide quality content to you at a low subscription price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm reading it could be a bug or be caused by network somehow if I'm using a proxy, but I'm not at the moment. I wouldn't pay 50 cents a month for this subscription if that screen is the best they can do for adspace..Occasionally an ad does play for like 20 seconds during it.. I only opted in the free trial because I thought they had season 3 of American Gods..Only to find out I either pay Starz per episode or pirate it...Pretty sure you know what option I took there. Hulu bought a new season of Futurama. Maybe I'll deal with this shit for it, but until then, and after fuck this.

I watched a 90-minute movie on Tubi last night and had to sit thru, like, 2 ad breaks. And each one was like 30 seconds! Totally not the same thing you’re talking about, I’m sure. But seriously, fuck that shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously, fuck that shit. 1. Tubi is completely free..well I guess they have a pay option, but I've never used it. 2. At least they show actual ads and not a dumb place holder screen for minutes at a time. Tubi free does have like 3 short ads every 10-20 minutes though it's about as bad as this..

I'm just trying to watch Rick and Morty on it now, and it's turning 20 minute episodes into an hour long affair. 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things that used to be great are now trash. I remember about 15 or so years ago, watching Hulu free . I wanna say it was ad-free too, but I don’t remember. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomicinumatt Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Eh, yea for most Hulu commercials are teh suck but I do not mind them. Essentially a forced piss break! I also use Hulu for cable with their live membership thingy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh how the mighty have fallen...(Futurama not hulu) I can almost guarantee you that Futurama will flourish more on streaming than coming back to cable TV again. Hardly anybody but middle aged/old people still watch cable TV, so Futurama will actually probably get LOTS more viewers on streaming than on cable, which will more likely keep them safe from yet another premature canceling. But Hulu as opposed to other streaming platforms? Yeah, that may be a mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their originals make it worth it to me and fuck Netflix I got tired of it way before Netflix and chill became a tired meme... The Boys, Incredible, The Night Sky, Upload, Prime vid has aired so many originals I enjoy with there only being one brain numbing series like Squidgame, Wednessday etc that I'm told is all the rage from netflix users.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

André Toulon Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Don't know what's wrong with your Hulu...I don't get ads. If you have a blocker active, that likely what's causing the pop up...just it being on is probably triggering the placeholder despite it not actually wanting to play an ad, but other than that...dunno. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bro idk... I go through all those kind of checks usually, but maybe a maleware guard browser extension somehow triggered that shit. It seemed weird to me as well, but on the subject IDGAF anymore... Youtube pretty much threw adblock out the window so if you use google chrome and havent figured it out yet you need to get the ublock browswer extension to block youtube ads on google chrome.... Youtube literally added to their TOS recently that you are doing a no no even as a random video watcher by blocking ads... So my solution since I do get paid from companies from just watching ads...game testing etc... was to just install the brave browser which operates off the same chromium shell as google chrome anyway... No matter what adblocking extension they throw out the window next the blockers are so ingrained into Brave's standard download it's hard for them to pussy foot around the issue... TLDR easy peasy for me if youtube fucked up your adblock just use the Brave web browser for youtube like I do or download the ublock extension for chrome..

Nah Mine was fucking up yesterday ( I don't watch it very often) It was trying to give me an ad like about every 5 mins or so Usually that happens when they think you're exiting out during commercials I think, because anytime I've closed hulu during an ad by accident or something, it does it to me for a short amount of time. Not sure wtf was going on yesterday, but I closed that shit pretty damn fast 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
