There are plenty of streaming services that have ads - Hulu and Disney+ have an ad-supported tier, for example, and it's foolish to think that Netflix won't introduce an ad-supported tier as soon as they think their customers won't revolt. It's the most obvious solution to login sharing - give a very cheap or free ad-supported tier and then monetize the hell out of them.
Netflix already has ads - just for their own shows.
- zerocrates 4y agoNetflix has already widely announced their intention to add a with-ads tier.
- joegahona 4y ago> Netflix already has ads - just for their own shows. I think the industry term for this is "in-house ads," and they've existed for as long as I can remember on premium-cable channels like HBO, Showtime, etc. The experience would be better without them, for sure, but they're less ugsome than the typical programmatic ads you get on Youtube or Hulu.
- ghaff 4y agoOr you call them trailers in the movie theater (which also have ads). I don't mind them and they're pretty easy to skip in my experience.
- pnutjam 4y agoParamount+ has ads even if you pay for the ad free experience. Really irritating.
- hahamrfunnyguy 4y agoI ran into this too, It was a bug in my view because according to the service description ads would "sometimes" show up during live programming. I guess it doesn't say that ads WON'T show up elsewhere, but my assumption was that they wouldn't. I had signed up in '20 or '21 and I am curious if this is still the same way.
- pnutjam 4y agoI dropped it, but picked it back up for the Nick programming. Still ads, but only a few, mostly at the beginning. Really irritating, but I hear the ads version is practically unwatchable.
