    I’m fed up with the streaming services, so I’m getting back to my big pile of DVDs and Blu-Ray discs.

    I was randomly reminded of the “BD-Live” thing that I tried long ago. One of the most janky joyless things I had ever seen. Some marketing person had decided to do a marketing thing for movie promos and trailers and had forgotten that the thing was to be visited by actual people.

    This sounds like it was cooked up by the same people. Looks like marketing people building a Thing.

    Seems like a real can / should problem to me.

    Hard to believe this would entice anyone to purchase where a sexy lady couldn’t.

    Ah yes, that’s what will get me to engage with ads all they needed to do was put my face in them.

    Business majors are so fucking stupid.

      Ads are much more likely to be effective on me if they have attractive people in them.

      I was taught none of that during my undergrad. Instead, i say that people who are greedy just happened to get business degrees as a tool to help them be greedy.

          Seriously. If I notice the ad, I avoid the product. For example, ads for native and old spice are everywhere on YouTube and super obnoxious so when I need body wash and I hit the store, my fist reaction to seeing those brands is to recall the negative emotions I felt from the last time I had to interact with that brand. So they are spending money to get me to avoid their products.

      Imagine someone gets back at their ex and puts a dispenser with LSD in it programmed to dispense a bit every like 15 liters poured out of their Samsung Fridge… Which will probably also play adds with your face on it.

    I haven’t heard DirecTV mentioned in such a long time, I’m a little surprised it still exists

    Who in their right mind would think this is a good idea? Are managers so caught up in the “just add AI bro it will make us cool” hype train that no one stops to think “yeah I would never want this in my living room”?
