Netflix was TV ad-blocking for me. I hated TV and stopped watching it for many years. Then when Netflix came around, I discovered that TV production had greatly improved, and it's the ad interruptions that was poisoning the art, making me feel sick to watch it. Without the ads, I could binge watch a multiple-year series of a television show, and not feel sick.

- Nadya 11y agoSmall reminder that cable's main selling point when starting out was the removal of ads.
- icebraining 11y agoNot around here (non-US country), it already came with ads. The point was always the extra content, since we only had four OTA channels.
