- 0:49Speaker 1: Hi. Nate. First of all, we just wanted to thank
- 0:53Speaker 1: you for being a valued customer here at Hulu for
- 0:56Speaker 1: the past seven years.
- 0:58Speaker 2: Are you welcome?
- 1:00Speaker 1: We really appreciate that. And I'm actually with the Customer
- 1:03Speaker 1: Care division, and I have to say the other reason
- 1:08Speaker 1: I'm calling is because we are a bit.
- 1:10Speaker 2: Concerned You're a bit concerned about.
- 1:13Speaker 1: What concerned that you could be watching too many movies,
- 1:21Speaker 1: and that's saying a lot because our selection is not pristine.
- 1:27Speaker 2: I'm sorry you're tracking the amount of television that I'm watching.
- 1:32Speaker 2: How do you know I'm watching that?
- 1:34Speaker 1: It's not really a surprise since all streaming platforms do
- 1:38Speaker 1: monitor their customers viewing habits, and with your account, we
- 1:42Speaker 1: did have an alarm go off, So.
- 1:45Speaker 2: An alarm for my account. What triggers the alarm?
- 1:49Speaker 1: It's triggered when someone hits quadruple the normal amount of
- 1:52Speaker 1: viewing time oh that they normally would consume.
- 1:56Speaker 2: Don't you want me to be watching a lot of movies?
- 1:59Speaker 2: Isn't that sort of what your business is.
- 2:01Speaker 1: That's actually a really great point, Nate. It's just that
- 2:04Speaker 1: all of us here at Hulu cannot believe that you
- 2:07Speaker 1: searched our entire library and found more than two movies
- 2:11Speaker 1: worth watching. You know. That's why we're so concerned.
- 2:15Speaker 2: Okay, well, thanks for your concern, but it's misplaced. Okay, Well,
- 2:19Speaker 2: I mean seems a little ridiculous that you're tracking me
- 2:22Speaker 2: and now you're stalking me and trying to figure out Nate.
- 2:25Speaker 1: Nate, that's not the case at all. We're not trying
- 2:27Speaker 1: to attack you or accuse you of anything. We just
- 2:30Speaker 1: want you to be honest with us. Do you think
