What a sweet deal! Thanks Hello Fresh!
They really said
🙅 "Disney+, with ads on us"
👉 "Disney+ with ads, on us"
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.
118Disney is also actively arguing in court that if you use the free trial you can't sue them for anything. Ever.
So there's that to worry about now.
62Disney 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.
32But 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?
11An, 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
65Reminds me of the never ending story.
It ended.
Quickly.

I would rather steal
48They don't even have content worth piracy.
13Idk. The mandolorian was the bomb.Com & i really enjoyed both seasons of loki.

38Every time I see mention of piracy, I hum the song Yo Ho (from Pirates of the Caribbean) instinctively.
How ironic.

'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
33Not just ads, but also unactionable anaphylaxis! It's a steal really.
33Here, have a "Be My Bitch" coupon, free of charge.
31Can you combine it with "suck my dick" coupon? Got plenty of those.

Imagine suscribe to YouTube premium and still watch ads...
30Imagine subscribing to YouTube instead of just newpiping that shit.
25I 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.
29And if Disney poisons you 10 years from now you can't sue them!
5
endless
7 days
Hmmmmmmmmmmm
23They will also ban you for using an adblocker Why? Cause they need the money
19not just block video, but ban? wow. its like they want you to pirate.
18
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
17Screw Disney.
16ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
It's the only way nowadays. Just pretend you're a pirate of the caribbean and say it with me. "Arrrr"
11I 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.
14As 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.
6
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!
13Pro tip: use Firefox+ublock origin for no ads in any streaming platform Pro-er tip: sail the seven seas!
13The 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.
13until 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

So the ads are "on them"? What does that mean? I have honestly no idea. Why is there a "on us"?
12The 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.

🏴☠️, Just a week away. 🏴☠️ is in a week! Woohoo! I am so happy about this information
9Can 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!
9This 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.
9Yarrr matey
7Seven days of ADs for free is a fucking rip off.
4Damn, some guys have all the luck.
