What a sweet deal! Thanks Hello Fresh!
They really said
🙅 “Disney+, with ads on us”
👉 “Disney+ with ads, on us”
Careful. If you sign up for Disney plus and then Disney kills your wife YOU CAN’T SUE!
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.
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.
Wonder if we could get cable service to add “with ads” to every tier they have lmao
This 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.
I would rather steal
They don’t even have content worth piracy.
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!

Every time I see mention of piracy, I hum the song Yo Ho (from Pirates of the Caribbean) instinctively.
How ironic.
I get “Can I talk like a pirate” from Jake and the Neverland Pirates appear in my mind.
“I’ve been talking this way, since my birthdays began”
Then I artistically move my brain on to something I prefer. Alestorm
“A pirate I was meant to be, trim the sails and roam the sea!”
“You say you’re nasty pirates, scheming, thieving, bad bushwhackers? From what I’ve seen, I tell you, you’re not pirates! You’re just slackers!”
Guybrush Threepwood. Still got the new one to go at
How appropriate. You fight like a cow!
“endless entertainment” “7 days”…
It sure sounds like the entertainment has an end… at the first advert break
Reminds me of the never ending story.
It ended.
Quickly.
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.
Damn, some guys have all the luck.
Pro tip: use Firefox+ublock origin for no ads in any streaming platform Pro-er tip: sail the seven seas!
Here, have a “Be My Bitch” coupon, free of charge.
Imagine suscribe to YouTube premium and still watch ads…
Imagine subscribing to YouTube instead of just newpiping that shit.
Not just ads, but also unactionable anaphylaxis! It’s a steal really.
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.
As 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.
