I’m not familiar with how Netflix’s ad tier works and am almost afraid to ask, but could someone ELI5?
If a company wanted to push an ad on Netflix, wouldn’t it be up to them to decide whether to use AI make the thing? Or is this sort of the equivalent of a small business sending a script to the local radio station to have the DJ read it (i.e. rather than producing their own ad), except they add some AI-generated visuals?
I never subscribed to netflix because I’m not an idiot and just used free streaming sites for over a decade.
My peers would tell me that there are different pricing models and you can pay more to get rid of ads.
It’s all fucked by design, but this generation is too stupid to realize it or do anything about it.
Either they have great technology, or they have great entertainment,” she said. “Our superpower has always been the fact that we have both.
Please. Your software is an image carousel and a video player.
Aside from 🏴☠️ there are simply too many legitimate pay streaming options in 2025 for Netflix to think they can do this. This will end like an arrogant urban cowboy being flung off a mechanical bull and I’m all for it.
Soon may the Pirateman come,
To bring us movies, games, and… Rum.
Quit netflix ages ago, but is add blocking not going to work here? I addblock on hulu no problem.
Netflix was canceled even before twitter. It was nice until 3-4 years ago, when the quality of their service started to fall.
Netflix doing their best to lose whatever customers they have left rofl
Sure, but they have a crazy large amount of data and an army of Data Science PhDs who sat down and calculated they’d make more money increasing their margins on people who’ll put up with it, than they’d lose pissing the rest of their customers off.
All the rest of us can do is leave our Torrents running and keep our ratios up…
Often enough execs are just impervious to math.
oh they can do the math of short term gains because they dont stay long term and move on to the next company to short term gain
they never think about anything but their own gain
make number go up > get a bonus for meeting profit gain goals > leave company before shit hits the fan to repeat the same pattern somewhere else
Yes. This is basically the core of why capitalism eats itself.
You don’t have to be evil or short-sighted to be a CEO, but if you don’t do evil and short-sighted shit to pump the share price there’s a high probability the board will replace you with someone who will.
This is why I believe the government should hold stock and sit on the boards of any company that gets publicly listed. Much easier than tying yourself in knots with an adversarial system of complex regulations.
I’m on FNP, where do you find other (private) trackers? If I might ask.
Are you high, kiddo? Their customer base is steadily growing by tens of millions each bloody year. Netflix is a publicly traded company, everyone has access to all of their financial information, including the customer base.
Just think the CEOs of Netflix get $60 million a year to fuck it up while we work 1-4 jobs actually providing goods and services to barely make it.
“[Netflix] members pay as much attention to midroll ads as they do to the shows and movies themselves,” Amy Reinhard, president of advertising at Netflix, said, per the publication.
In terms of attention, she’s either lying or admitting that members barely pay attention to their content.

They have told writers to dumb things down and have the characters speak aloud what they’re doing because so many people doom scroll while it’s on in the background.
There not making quality. They’re making elevator music for your home.
She is exactly admitting members barely pay attention. It’s a pretty widely known issue in the screenwriting community. Netflix in particular wants more “second screen scripts.” Meaning they need shows that constantly remind you of what’s happening, have tons of expository dialogue—constantly—and that leans hard into the shallow end of story. Because they’re assuming you’re not watching and are on your phone.
Well piracy is the only way then.
YAR HAR HAR HAR
