What a sweet deal! Thanks Hello Fresh!
They really said
🙅 “Disney+, with ads on us”
👉 “Disney+ with ads, on us”
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.
Its provably an advertising regulation thing where they have to put it up front to not get sued?
“endless entertainment” “7 days”…
It sure sounds like the entertainment has an end… at the first advert break

Also, it should be called Disney -
I would rather steal
I know what you mean but the way I read it in my head is that you’re making your own movies using their characters.

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!”
‘disney+ standard with ads’ is the full name of the subscription item. this was procedural and yep, tone def and silly.
i would say; thanks for the warning… matey
