Does that mean you give real answers to the other "password recovery" questions? "Verification" questions should get random answers that get saved in your password manager.
It's always fun when you have to call up customer support though and have to spell your mother's maiden name. "Yes it's right bracket, exclamation, capital R, dollar sign..."
Just say you’re 6
You have to mentally be 6 if you’re enjoying the garbage they’re chucking onto Disney+.
During that month I watched the Pixar movies Soul, Luca, and Turning Red (and rewatched Onward). I also watched the Disney movies Raya and the Last Dragon and Encanto. And Wes Anderson's Isle of Dogs. Oh, and also the latest Dr. Strange and Thor Marvel movies, plus the Loki series.
Are you seriously claiming that all that was garbage?
I used to recommend Netflix back in the day, cause it just worked. Now, there's 30+ different streaming services, and many have switched to the "leak an episode once a week/month".
Just pirate. It's better, cheaper, AND not hostile to the end user!
At the start Netflix was about getting rid of ads ridden cable TV so you now you can get competing Disney+ which is now just a cable TV with targeted ads based on your personal data. It is evolving, only backwards.
At first, cable TV had no ads because it was funded by subscriptions. Then most cable channels slowly started adding more and more ads and demanding higher and higher rates from cable operators to carry their channels. Then the local channels started demanding rates from cable operators to carry their channels that are otherwise available for free over the air.

Did they alter it for foreign markets? Some very US centric questions there.
Coppa "Children's Online Privacy Protection Rule ("COPPA")" If the kids is below 13, targeting would probably not be allowed. "The act, effective April 21, 2000, applies to the online collection of personal information by persons or entities under U.S. jurisdiction about children under 13 years of age, including children outside the U.S. if the website or service is U.S.-based.[1] It details what a website operator m…
Should we all just tell all platforms that we are under 13? Is that a new iOS setting to stop Meta and Google?

Disney: “Gendered stereotypes are harmful — be more inclusive!” Also Disney: “Tell us your gender so we can target ads based on that!” I would take DIE advocates more seriously if they reformed themselves — rather than lecturing the rest of us while engaging in such blatant hypocrisy.
I have dim memories of lego positioning their stuff as gender-neutral when I was a kid. That went comprehensively out the window in the mid-90s or so, presumably when some lego marketer discovered the (dubious) joys of market segmentation.
To Lego's credit, they did seem to make a point of putting both girls and boys on their advertisements.

I remember playing Leisure Suit Larry at 8 or 9 years old. They'd test you to make sure you were over 18 but if you said you were over 99, it would just reply "No you're not" and boot you.

My simple solution I’m a 99 year old male. Good luck advertising to me.
Eh - that just puts you in the 65+ bracket - plenty of ads targeted there.
