There is no such thing on Netflix as there is nothing to pay extra for.
They just try to avoid you canceling your subscription when their licensing agreements are not getting renewed and everything else except their original content is gone.
- jessaustin 7y agoThis phenomenon definitely exists on competitors e.g. Prime. Lots of screen space wasted on PPV stuff...
- yoz-y 7y agoPrime has PPV? It that a US thing? In France it only shows content directly available. Amazon originals are often promoted first.
- jessaustin 7y agoOriginals are often promoted, and maybe I'm using the wrong acronym with "PPV", but if you click on anything that doesn't have a tiny "prime" ribbon in the corner, you'll get a screen asking you if you really want to spend $3.99 or whatever. Slight annoyance, but then again I have bought these before when they did something manipulative like offering 8 of the 9 available seasons of a show for "prime" viewing... Also sometimes you just want to see something now instead of waiting a year or going to a theater.
- yoz-y 7y agoInteresting, on my prime video page I can't buy anything. It only shows shows and movies that are included.
