            I heard their women don’t work after giving birth. Sometimes up to a year!

            How disgusting is that?! Think of all that lost productivity, lost profit to day care, no lunches at local fast slop, no wear and tear pm the vehicles. Like really hurting the system but not participating. Very problematic behaviour.

            Thank god, not in my America!

      For one you don’t have to answer it or anything. Many streaming platforms have been doing this for awhile.

        Not what OP said over on the (now deleted) Reddit post:

        So the ad was supposed to play in that black box and this is a bug?

        I had Bob’s Burgers on in the background but was playing a game with my kid. The silence caught my attention, but not at first. At first I assumed it was a, “choose your commercial” thing.

        After some more time I thought maybe it was asking if I was still watching, that’s when I looked up to see this

        I waited, nothing. I made a verbal comment and the whole family started looking. We waited, nothing.

        I grabbed my phone, snapped the pic, made the post (but didn’t actually post it), and it was still sitting there.

        I guessed an answer, got it right, and the show came back

        Then I hit “post” to actually make the post.

        Some people say it went away on its own. Others say, like me, they had to answer, and others said even after answering it didn’t go away

        I’ve had Bob’s Burgers on all morning and I’ve yet to see this again

      What country and what law?

      Quick edit: you know, if Hulu doesn’t include anywhere that they do this, it could be seen as additional consideration (in the legal contractual term of the word - basically, what each party provides for the other) in order for Hulu to provide its service that wasn’t disclosed.

      Of course, that just means we’ll get yet another “We updated our terms and while we’re at it we’re increasing our rates $3/month. Fuck You.” email and that’s that.

        People say stuff like that and I’m like, what’s the actual law? “It feels bad so it’s probably illegal.”

        This particular brand of bullshit is so new I doubt there’s any legislation out there. Maybe an existing consumer protection law could be bent to fit?
