Question: Hulu continually asks me whether their ads are of interest to me, and they use that to better target me as a consumer. Does this eventually mean they go from being ads to content promotion because it's possibly of interest to me?
I don't feel a need to engage the hypothetical; regardless of which are acceptable and how you label them, there is clearly a categorical distinction between a store-type "You might also like" ad/promotion/whatever promoting games, a store-type "You might also like" ad/promotion/whatever promoting non-game services that you would rather not use, and an animation of a fatso sliding a big mac down their engorged gullet. I would also place a categorical distinction between any of these used in an interstitial manner versus any of these used in a static manner. This doesn't connote or denote acceptance of any or all, but rather a recognition of the distinction.
