Data about you is valuable. Netflix can sell it without displaying the ads itself. I'd be surprised if they aren't tracking users and monetizing that information, like seemingly every other business in the world.
But maybe someone knows ...
- maxerickson 9y agoI thought Netflix had a whole bunch of product placement deals? There can be advertising without breaking out of the content.
- philfrasty 9y agoWatched Sense8 (over here in Germany) for the last couple of days on NF. Every episode has a disclaimer at the beginning „This show contains product placements“. From first view: Ben & Jerrys, Pepsi (?), Sennheiser
- brendangregg 9y agoI can't provide an official response (I'm an engineer at Netflix), but I noticed to answer the question "How much data does Netflix sell to Third-Party Advertisers?", did have the response[1]: "Hey there, Cliff Edwards, director of corporate communications at Netflix. Wanted to point out that we don't sell ANY data to third-party advertisers. And we provide pretty good support for anyone who wants to learn about our tracking and how to opt out: https://www.netflix.com/cookies" https://www.netflix.com/cookies" That's in line with what I expect too.
