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

    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.

    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”?

    Humanity could do many great things in this world with AI. Instead we are coming up with innovative new ways to give you ads. Get me out of this timeline.

    These remaining DirecTV subscribers are gonna be pissed when AT&T swaps out the dial-tone on their landline for an ad stream.

        I don’t know. Maybe not. Last I worked with them they were still Hughes, but the ATT acquisition had been announced.

        Fun story… it once took a bit over an hour to get from their building on Imperial Hwy to the passenger terminal at LAX, and you can see LAX out the uber window on the other side of the street the entire ride. Lol.

      Paper books and comparable are now prohibited under the konzom act, your daily advertisement quota has been increased until morale improves or your mind breaks, whichever comes first.
