Like other companies with streaming businesses, DirecTV is leaning into ads more.

    Good.

    Anyone who’s paying for directv deserves all the bullshit coming towards them.

    Stop wasting your money.

    Seems like a real can / should problem to me.

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

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

    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.

        It’s certainly engaged me to never, ever invest in their services. Ever.

      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.

    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”?
