I'm not sure if you looked at some of the other replies in the thread, but in this instance it was a live broadcast which has ad breaks. OP is paying for the ad-free tier, so instead of ads they had a black screen during the break. To describe this as Netflix "adding unskippable ads on premium plan" is just wrong, there are literally no ads being displayed.
