I feel like we're diluting the atrocity of shitty ads when we refer to anything and everything as an ad.
Netflix's above-the-fold, skippable "Now Showing" preview on the homepage can't be compared to the unskippable videos that Amazon and Hulu force you to watch. Hell, it even remembers that you muted it. And it only plays if you sit there staring at it.
Since almost all of Netflix's competitors force you to watch ads after you click play, I'm pretty happy with what Netflix does. Seems like a perfectly fair trade-off to me.
If you don't like it, just add ".billboard-row" to your content blocker. I bet you haven't. I bet you kinda like it. ;)
