    I’ll save you all a click

    Disney is planning to introduce “virtual storefronts” to its popular streaming services, including Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN. These storefronts will allow viewers to order snacks or pick out products they’ve seen in their favorite shows, all while continuing to stream their movie or show. Disney+ subscribers will see interactive ads pop up as well.

    So, basically, stuffing more ads into the premium service you paid for (presumably to avoid ads). These people don’t get it, do they?

      Oh, they get it, alright. They’re making more money than God, which is entirely the goal.

      The Mouse can fuck the right off with that. We’ve had subscription for quite a while since there’s a ton of stuff for our kids but if they start to overlay shows with pop-up ads not unlike The Truman Show I’ll rather set up a jellyfin server and dust the old pirate hat than continue to give them money.

        Same. I won’t tolerate pop ups. We didn’t when the internet was new and I sure won’t when watching a show I’M PAYING TO WATCH.

      These storefronts will allow viewers to … pick out products they’ve seen in their favorite shows

      This should be funny but somehow it doesn’t do it anymore

        It’s also an article about another article from Variety that actually has a better headline. These things are a pet peeve for me. Hey, here’s a story from an actual news service and I’ll even include a link to it, but I’m going to post my link all over so people will see the ads on my page instead of theirs. Variety does some good reporting, I’ve rather they get the clicks.

    Good news! Even more ways to buy shitty products with all your favorite meaningless brands splattered over top of them. But only if you subscribe now!
