[mental health/cw: past suidice mention/cw: army mention] I just need to get this off my chest
vampiricist
I am so sick of trying to watch my shows on hulu and every other commercial is Dear Evan Hansen or that fucking "support your kids if they want to join the army" thing
vampiricist
I lost my brother and a close friend and mentor to suicide
vampiricist
This week was actually the anniversary of Katie's death, and I have to work in the building where she died and it's awful. It's. Awful.
vampiricist
My brother wanted so badly to be in the army but couldn't because of his lungs
vampiricist
And after that he just kind of lost his way, never found himself, and ended up ending his life
vampiricist
So I'm so goddamned tired of being reminded every few minutes of losing my brother, or what he wanted to do with his life and couldn't
vampiricist
"So don't watch hulu, watch something without commercials"
vampiricist
Hulu is where 90% of my comfort shows are
vampiricist
I'm just
vampiricist
I swear to god if I hear Waving Through A Window one more time I will scream
vampiricist
I'm just tired. I'm so tired
vampiricist
Also those army commercials are gross, propagandic, and predatory
Iʟʟᴏɢɪᴄᴀʟ.
army commercials are really disgusting :/
S̸C̴R̴A̸T̵C̴H̵
I wish blocking select ads were a thing on Hulu
Iʟʟᴏɢɪᴄᴀʟ.
I'm sorry you're facing all these constant reminders.
vampiricist
Oh man, yes. Like you can on facebook
vampiricist
Eventually they'll cycle through and it'll go to another set of the same four commercials over and over
vampiricist
The army ads ARE really gross
vampiricist
Like dear parents, stop being concerned for your child's safety and let them join the army LIKE???
vampiricist
mega yikes
ɗυ boiѕ°
army ads sicken me. especially the ones that liken it to playing a video game
vampiricist
These ones are really insidious because it's parents literally begging their kids not to join the army and their kids going "no you need to support my decision"
vampiricist
like how gross??
vampiricist
Anyway. Hopefully they cycle out again soon
vampiricist
It usually takes a week or two

if you got a sturdy ad blocker just tell me which shows u wana watch and i'll link you to a streaming website.
vampiricist
Oh man bless you, thank you

Seconded on a good ad blocker: I use one and haven't seen a single ad on Hulu for a year.
vampiricist
You know, I do have a good adblocker, but it only works on hulu like half the time. I may have them accidentally whitelisted, hmm
ɗυ boiѕ°
adblocker ultimate has been working incredibly well for me, with ublock able to block whatever it can't
Eldritch
I got AdBlock and UBlock working in tandem, so it covers a lot of ads.
vampiricist
Yeah, I use UBlock
vampiricist
I'm gonna check my settings and unwhitelist them, if I've whitelisted hulu for some reason
vampiricist
Thanks guys!
Eldritch
/bows/ Glad to help!
