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.

I want the judge to fine them for this absurdity.

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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Its provably an advertising regulation thing where they have to put it up front to not get sued?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

An, that makes sense. Thanks!

Wonder if we could get cable service to add "with ads" to every tier they have lmao
