If you haven't read "the ones who walk away from omelas" from LeGuin, I recommend doing so.
- And while you're at it read the rest of her stuff
- The funny thing about that story is that its not supposed to be some sort of moral quandary, the suffering child isn't the point at all. And that's not subtext, the author straight up speaks directly to the reader and says its not the point.
  And yet its practically the only thing I've ever heard people mention about it.
  
  What would you say is the point of the story?
piracy has no ads
- Stremio + Torrentio FTW. Everything is on there. It's beautiful.
  (It's also so user-friendly that even my mom in her 60s can navigate it with ease.)
- I thought that's what this post was referring to? (the one person who downloads it from hulu originally had to watch the ads to get it before they uploaded it)
The joke is that this is not one person, but 10% of their userbase. So you get an ad month every 10 months
- "Ad-week", "Ad-month", "Ad-year", that's some brand new sentence material
Firefox + uBlock origin = no Hulu ads
- no hulu = no hulu ads
Streaming Service from Omelas
My favorite part of this, is that to be worth it the person would have to watch the ads. So they're like "arrrrrgh! Fine" and just sit there watching ads that month.
This feels like satire but isn't
The torture child of hululas.
It's The Lottery for 2025.
Probably would go over about as well with people as it did in the story.
- Beat me to it! Great story.
Ad Jesus, sacrificed his time for your media.
Just kidding, it's ads for everyone except some CEO who is getting a BJ from two supermodels at once on a yacht.
Modern day Hulu Jesus!
