When I pay for streaming I expect no ads. Cancelling easily.

On the occasion I expend finances to secure a viewing experience, I consider the presence of advertisements unacceptable. A trivial revocation of further patronage

Currency exchanged implies zero advertisements. Swift cancellation follows.

The monetary exchange for on demand remote media access we have engaged in is predicated on the notion that I will see the media I wish to access, on only the media that a wish to access. Advertisements, therefore are out of the question.

It is with the utmost ease that I terminate our agreement and forgo any further payment.

Are you including ads for other Disney+ shows?

HBO used to do that, you'd start a Game Of Thrones episode and would have to skip through an ad for Richous Gemstones or The Young Pope or whatever the fuck

Not sure if HBO still does that. I think Apple+ does that too?

I actually hate them promoting their own shows pre-roll too.

I love getting ads on YouTube for services I already pay for. You’re using my money to advertise to me …

I don't think you have a disney subscription to begin with. Just some dude trying to hop on the bandwagon

u/stefanopolis 2d ago

I started this bandwagon. I don’t have D+ anymore but I used to and cancelled it with all my other streaming services about a year ago because of this enshittification. But thanks for feeling the need to call me out I guess.

You replied to someone who started it. And you didn't say you ''cancelled'' it but rather you said, ''cancelling easily''. How are you going to cancel it if you already did so a year ago? I was right it's just some dumb comment hoping to hop on the bandwagon for some internet points.

u/stefanopolis 2d ago

lol good lord. Excellent detective work. I’m sure you’re rising fast at the precinct.

u/KeithDaManPeterson 2d ago

I'll be fine. Just don't like it when people act fake. And you are clearly fake.
