Additional streaming services like Hulu require viewers to watch shorter advertisements with some changes like a countdown timer and tailoring to the viewers interests, asking interactive questions like "Is this ad relevant to you?".

Famous quotes containing the word future:
“We live in an age when to be young and to be indifferent can be no longer synonymous. We must prepare for the coming hour. The claims of the Future are represented by suffering millions; and the Youth of a Nation are the trustees of Posterity.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
