Ok. But the first one i see and im canceling
The biggest enabler of these are those bundles you get with cable / Internet providers. Do yourself a favor and buy these individually if at all so you can stop the subscriptions at any time without worries.
in Greece at least nobody gives you the option - unless it’s a very pricey service that you can pay as a package
Yo ho yo ho
“No ads” don’t mean we don’t show ads…duh
“No, ads!”
“No capes!”

Welp, just canceled that subscription. They can fuck right off.
There’s no way that they should be allowed to advertise “no ads” when there are in fact ads. This is consumer protection so basic and obvious that it should be a slam dunk even with the current government… right?
There’s no way this should be a profitable course of action. If I was paying for no Ads and started getting Ads I would immediately cancel my subscription and go somewhere else.
Unfortunately too many people are good little consumers who just don’t care and it doesn’t even occur to them to stop paying and demand better.
Pirate your shows. Not just as a defense against ads, but as a defense against Disney throwing plotlines down the Memory Hole
This is what I do:
- Buy a perpetual license to the content I want (usually on Prime or Microsoft Store)
- Pirate it and load it onto my PLEX server.
This is the only way I can actually have control over the content that I fucking paid for. If that makes me a thief, then so be it.
Of course, this only works for PPV content. I generally just don’t watch content that’s available via streaming subscriptions only. I never paid for cable and I’m not paying for cable 2.0.
Ads free but with ads ! So words included in a contract don’t carry the same meaning as in the dictionary ?
Free ads
‘Inflammable’ means flammable? What a country!
This update brought to you by the letter ARRRR
Hasn’t Hulu had ads on their paid tiers for a long time now? I remember that being a big deal way back, so I never bothered with a subscription.
Yes! Hulu originally was 100% free because it had ads. The it became a monthly sub but never removed the ads. Then it split into what it is today with an ad option and an ad free option.
If buying isn’t owning, then piracy isn’t theft. ;-)
Streaming is akin to renting not buying
That’s the point of what they’re saying. If you’re only buying a subscription to the content then it’s not theft to get access to that content by other means.
the point is that it’s incorrect
You aren’t buying it so the rest of the sentence is irrelevant
Like stealing from blockbuster because you can rent it vs the video bin at the department store
Nothing wrong with piracy without being dishonest about it
Ok, commercials on no add streaming services are akin to renting a beach house all for your fam but the landlord shows up and takes a giant dump in the only bathroom available
Sure, that doesn’t pertain to the conversation though
you’re ruining the catchy slogan, it’s like you don’t even want this to be Reddit
but username checks out.
Remove the “if buying isnt owning” part
You are stealing potential profits
If I’m stealing potential profits, then there wasn’t much potential. My bank account is still near empty
So happy I can exist with no subscriptions!
And I am clarifying that as I continue to subscribe to this service, circumstances may require that my payments will exclude currency, and include regular visits to The Pir[REDACTED]te Bay.
Edit: sorry, Rule 2.
Private Torrents
If those titles require ads, don’t include them in my feed. I don’t want to know they exist.
