WITH ads? Fuckin awesome coupon, thanks!

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 years later you die in one of Disney's hotels because one of Disney's 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?
- An, that makes sense. Thanks!
Wonder if we could get cable service to add "with ads" to every tier they have lmao

"endless entertainment" "7 days"...

It sure sounds like the entertainment has an end.. at the first advert break

Reminds me of the never ending story.

It ended.

Quickly.
- Watches 60 minutes
  
  This makes me happy.
  
  Watches Another 48 Hours
  
  My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

  Also, it should be called Disney -

I would rather steal

They don't even have content worth piracy.
- Idk. The mandolorian was the bomb.Com & i really enjoyed both seasons of loki.
I would never steal. I will, however, infringe on copyright.
- I know what you mean but the way I read it in my head is that you're making your own movies using their characters.
- If buying isn't owning, piracy isn't stealing. Yoho matey
At least that way I can have the proper versions of Star Wars.

🏴‍☠️

Every time I see mention of piracy, I hum the song Yo Ho (from Pirates of the Caribbean) instinctively.

How ironic.
- "He's a pirate" intensifies
- I get "Can I talk like a pirate" from Jake and the Neverland Pirates appear in my mind.
  
  "I've been talking this way, since my birthdays began"
  
  Then I artistically move my brain on to something I prefer. Alestorm

'disney+ standard with ads' is the full name of the subscription item. this was procedural and yep, tone def and silly.

i would say; thanks for the warning... matey

Not just ads, but also unactionable anaphylaxis! It's a steal really.

Here, have a "Be My Bitch" coupon, free of charge.

Can you combine it with "suck my dick" coupon? Got plenty of those.

Imagine suscribe to YouTube premium and still watch ads...

Imagine subscribing to YouTube instead of just newpiping that shit.
- 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.
In-video shilling is a thing

In the past, even the most shady companies were giving away stuff for free, to lure you in. Here you got to pay, by watching ads. Disney is a thug.

And if Disney poisons you 10 years from now you can't sue them!

endless

7 days

Hmmmmmmmmmmm

They will also ban you for using an adblocker Why? Cause they need the money

not just block video, but ban? wow. its like they want you to pirate.

Just don't eat at thier restaurants after you sign up: https://longisland.news12.com/disney-asks-court-to-dismiss-wrongful-death-lawsuit-of-long-island-doctor

Screw Disney.

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

It's the only way nowadays. Just pretend you're a pirate of the caribbean and say it with me. "Arrrr"
- I arrrrrready know...

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.

until she's interrupted by an ad.

what kind of business is this where you kill your paying customers? better just give them a scare then encourage them to become preppers and buy 1000 kilos of dry food

Would be a real shame if your wife were to suffer an allergic reaction and die after you agreed to this free trial, leaving you with no legal recourse despite our restaurant’s demonstrably inadequate precaution!

Pro tip: use Firefox+ublock origin for no ads in any streaming platform Pro-er tip: sail the seven seas!

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

The name of the subscription tier is "Disney+ Standard with Ads". So what is says is "Subscribe and get 7 days of [subscription] on us". "On us" in English slang means "we pay for it". So what the sentence means is "You will get to use a service called 'Disney+ Standard with Ads' for free for 7 days"

But yeah this is total word salad. It's like they're deliberately trying to weed out people with common sense and critical thinking abilities.

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.

🏴‍☠️, Just a week away. 🏴‍☠️ is in a week! Woohoo! I am so happy about this information

Can you believe it?? Just a week away

Careful. If you sign up for Disney plus and then Disney kills your wife YOU CAN'T SUE!

Yarrr matey

Seven days of ADs for free is a fucking rip off.

Damn, some guys have all the luck.
