Aside from ๐Ÿดโ€โ˜ ๏ธ 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.

Is your egg too expensive?
Look no further. Our egg is much smoother and can be worn with most garments.

EggEgg. For your egg.

After that comes the part where the AI hallucinates a world where advertising guidelines don't exist and gets the company sued for some very illegal advertising.

They show me an ad, and they are out. It is that simple. Luckily, my life does not depend on streaming.

Soo... the ad income is higher than the energy costs of gen. AI? They lied about the pennies per visit? ๐Ÿ˜ข

Also, ๐Ÿดโ€โ˜ ๏ธ

[-] Nalivai@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago

Netflix showed time and time again that they are shit at counting money. I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out they're losing money on those ads but will do them anyway because managers eat the worst possible hype for breakfast.

I'm all for services making a reasonable profit and being able to fund new shows and such endeavors...

But we're rapidly getting into an environment of "soaking viewers for all we can get out of them" simply to feed the fucking shareholders ever larger payouts.

Thank you Milton Friedman. ๐Ÿ–•

94 million people decided $10 a month savings was worth watching ads rather than doing without. Fuck em. They are the reason many things only have an ad supported tier. Pay for stuff or pirate it, but don't use ad supported tiers when you have a choice.
