I dropped Disney+ when they notified the world how they were going to jack up their monthly fees to view their streaming service. I’d already grown “fatigued” with all the MCU and Star Wars content that was flooding the service, so all I needed to pull the trigger and leave was that cost increase announcement. That was back in August (see link below).
Then in November Hulu and Disney+ announced a dual deal, as well as a cheaper advertising supported tier, so I signed back up, ostensibly to watch all the content on Hulu. And there’s been quite a bit of it. Disney+ came along for an additional $2.99/month, so I wasn’t too annoyed to have them back.
But you’d think that it was Disney+ that was the king of the duo if you look at all the spam advertising they’ve sent me. This latest was from ABC, a legacy TV channel I absolutely loathe. And what are they advertising at the top of the spam advert? An episode from their dumber-than-a-bag-of-hammers Golden Bachelor. I will have been married for 40 years come this July. The idea I want to watch some old fart get married is so far from anything I want to watch as to be totally alien. At this point in a human’s life, marriage means absolutely nothing unless there’s money and a pre-nup involved. Otherwise just shack up and be happy in each other’s company. Take all that money you’d spend on a formal wedding and elope to some really nice vacation spot while Earth’s climate still allows for such excesses.
I’ve clicked the link to be removed from all ABC advertising, so hopefully nothing else will come in from ABC. But this isn’t the first such spam advertising email from a Disney “property,” and I don’t think it’ll be the last. I wrote above that I thought $2.99 for Disney+ wasn’t going to be such a big deal. Now I’m not so sure.
