Haven't had Netflix since the password debacle. Never even missed it. 🏴☠️
One use for AI would be to eliminate all ads. The AI giveth and AI can taketh away. Lol
I'm sorry, did you say Netflix is going to be pirated aggressively for the few shows that aren't complete slop?
Hey Netflix, the amount of people are willing to endure for a paid subscription is ZERO and it will always remain so. In fact even the stupid games advertised on the top of the landing page made me use Netflix less and less, and now that they stopped password sharing I don't use it at all
Netflix was canceled even before twitter. It was nice until 3-4 years ago, when the quality of their service started to fall.
Amy Reinhard sounds like an asshole
~~plex~~ jellyfin ftw!
Couldn't pass up the opportunity to dunk on Plex, huh?
The change about streaming outside my home left me salty. The fact that they changed the deal made stop recommending them. So yeah.
And Im sure as a host you already have a Plex Pass? Probably life time?
You also could have just praised Jellyfin
I had lifetime for streaming outside my home, Yeah, I'm sure.
Canceled two years ago. Not coming back.
I can't tell from the article what the AI side of this is? Are Netflix offering to make adverts for customslrs using AI? Are they just showing adverts in general from customers, including AI generated ones?
I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but I've read the article twice and still don't know 😂
the streaming leader announced that it has created interactive mid-roll ads and pause ads that incorporate generative AI.
interactive mid-roll ads

Thanks! Somehow missed that, but I still don't really understand the details, like how and whyit incorporates generative AI, and if these are for Netflix or for Netflix ad customers.
!piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com Piracy ftw!
Is there a plugin for Stremio that provides a kid's profile function? That's the only thing keeping me from canceling my Netflix subscription.
Half of new Netflix subscribers opt for the $8 per month option rather than ad-free subscriptions, which start at $18 per month, the company says.
Damn, when did it get so expensive? Assuming that's USD. That's a decent amount more than Disney+, right?
Actually not much more I think disney + ad free tier is like $16 now. Though I don't think they- charge extra for 4k so there is that.
Oh I was comparing Disney+ Standard to Netflix Standard. Turns out there's also Netflix Basic which is a similar price to Disney+ Standard, but with many more restrictions.
I think Disney+ Standard and Netflix Standard seem to be comparable. In NZD Disney+ is $16.99 (approx $10USD)and Netflix is $25.99 (approx $15USD) per month. Disney+ gives annual discounts as well.
None of the plans in NZ seem to have ads (yet...).
Though I don’t think they- charge extra for 4k so there is that.
Out of the two plans I see, the Standard only includes up to 1080p and 4k requires Premium, $21.99NZD (approx $13USD).
Haha, the kicker is that it's pure greed. With their prices they don't need it and could improve it with what the community wants, but $$$, hey... been away for nearly 2 years now, thought of tipping my toes in again but with that they can f... right off.
Damn. Can't believe a media company would be driven by greed.
Line must always go brrrrr.
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.
Eh to Netflix's credit, both their backend and frontend are much better than their competition. Much better ux, and streams much more consistently. We pick up a sub for a month here and there. But AI ads will make me never go back.
🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️ cmon people, stop making netflix relevant
Yo ho ho (and a bottle of rum)!
Well piracy is the only way then.
No they won't 🏴☠️
Rejecting Netflix fixes things for you and me, but the article says Netflix has 93 million ad-supported subscribers. I'm really worried about the amount of influence advertisers have on our society, and it's only getting worse. Even if you and I can be above the direct influence of these ads, many people are not, and those people are influencing you and me. This produces a dangerous secondary influence that can reach most of society, and just fills everyone's mind with lies, for hardly any cost.
I was looking to cut down on subscriptions and picked Netflix as an experimental one. I haven't missed it at all. Things like this make me less likely to occasionally reactivate for a couple of months as I was originally planning.
I wonder when they'll see a big enough effect to break their current run of fucking over their customers.
Is there a way to poison the well so badly and so irrevocably that corporations won't dare use generative AI for anything? Can we somehow trick these overgrown chatbots to speak ill of their masters in the form of direct-to-stream advertisements?
You would think it’s already there, tbh - whenever I see an AI generated ad, all I think is “wow, that’s a business I will never patronize if even their ads are bottom-of-the-barrel slop”
The new snoop dog video has me discombobulated on this fact
What the fuck is up with that image of Wednesday?! It doesn’t look like Ortega’s Wednesday to me. Is it ai generated?
It looks like her to me but idk
Yeah you’re right, it is her, it might be the camera angle or something or perhaps her bangs are slightly different than in the rest of the show. Something just felt off and I can’t put my finger on it.
Between that, price hike, and some weirdly low quality content because you don't use this or that browser, netflix really wants people to stop their subscriptions it seems.
“[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.
Amy, I want you to be honest with me, are you an alien.
Because on planet Earth we do not, if fact, pay as much attention to the ads as to the things we're actually interested in. Famously our brains even produce this fascinating effect to spare us from the bullshit you're shoving into our eyeballs.
The sooner people realize that the subscribers are nothing more than super-slow-boiled frogs to them, the better.
Ahhhh, man moving away from corps just keeps on giving (or in this case, doesn’t enshitify while proprietary ones do).
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
