As obnoxious as this is, it's still only promoting other shows on the same service you're already paying for. It isn't convincing your kid that they need you to buy them a hundred other products, or - more importantly - seeding them with the idea of constant consumerism as a lifestyle.
That said, I've made Hulu my default now specifically because of Netflix's pushy dark patterns.
- burntoutcase 8y agoI've made secondhand optical media my fault because I'm sick of paying rent.
- not_a_cop75 8y agoI humbly disagree. I would state that the product being sold is the lifestyle being marketed. I don't have enough in common with the Baizuo to want to watch them, copy them or imitate them.
- _bxg1 8y agoI can barely even parse what you're trying to express here. It seems far-removed from the topic at hand.
- not_a_cop75 8y agoWhen you aren't being charged for something you are the product. And when you've being fed ads even when you're being charged, guess what? You're still the product. Pay for ads in product has come a long way since AOL.
- _bxg1 8y agoBut... Netflix... costs money?
