Ooh, I know the answer!
They're really doing everything in their power to destroy their own business model, aren't they?
I'm always a bit dumbfounded how many people are apparently fine with this sort of thing. I wish this was obviously a death sentence or pr nightmare for the service but in practice it must not be for a lot of people, enough to make it worth attempting.

Theyre making it easier to switch back to pirating by the day
Can you continue to watch your show without answering? Or are you forced to watch the commercial and answenthe question to continue?
I mean, it's fine if they're doing research on the commercials themselves, and the answers show how much or little people actually pay attention. But if you can't continue your show without the right answer, that's a problem.

This is a brand lift study. It's almost worthless: Hulu is paid nearly zero for it. I can't believe they've stooped this low to scrape so little incremental revenue with such a customer hostile tack. Their product and analytics people must truly suck and completely lack awareness of counter metrics.

Somebody better tell Sony about this. I'm sure they want to cash in from their patent being infringed.
:p /s
The dreaded future of advertising is here. Next step, in your face as you do your daily stuffs.
Those adds they play real loud on the gas pumps are annoying af..and your not supposed to get back into your car while filling so you just have to stand there w that shit blaring at you. Circle K does this shit if you are trying to avoid it.

When Hulu still had ads when you bought a subscription, I swore I would never pay them ever again. That was around 2014. I have stuck to it, and every year I am reminded why. Fuck Hulu.
If i ever am forced to answer a quiz like this, I will make a youtube video lambasting that product or service.
Hulu does this thing sometimes where you can choose which ad you want if two videos. Usually there is a timer to pick a default for you. I don't see a timer on the screen, but I'm still wondering if Lexus is using that feature for this ad. Did it not progress until you selected something?
The right side of the screen is suspiciously out of frame. Is that where the timer usually is?

Next step: political adverts that quiz you on what you've just heard and repeat each segment if you get the answer wrong.
Just kidding though (or am I). This is truly some dystopian shit. My first reaction was what the actual fuck. And I bet you that their numbers aren't really going to hurt that much because of this. Mark my words.
What really grinds my gears, is for every shitty "feature" like this, for every denial of policy or piece of spyware... someone thought it up.
I wonder does anyone ever, in the meeting where this is decided, bring up what a horrible idea it is? I'm sure that person won't have the best career, but has anyone ever seen someone take the bullet?
