No, Netflix should not sell ads. What they should do is start syndicating some of their content on lower tier platforms. Those platforms that might very well be ad-based, perhaps even run by Netflix, off-brand if they don't find any takers. Modeled after the old trickle-down from cinema to video to broadcast. This wouldn't just be another income stream, it would also be an ad for "real" Netflix.
