Doesn’t look like an ad. Looks like the live WWE Raw event you’re watching is showing ads on other platforms and you’re seeing a black screen until it resumes…
Get mad about real things yall. We don’t need to fake outrage when there is actual bad things happening.
Yeah, the live event is on commercial break. Your Netflix sub doesn’t alter time itself.
Can’t believe how much blind hate in this thread when the screenshot doesn’t match the claim.
Your Netflix sub doesn’t alter time
Excuse me, I upgraded to the special relativity plan for exactly this reason and I’m entitled to my rage
Maybe the wounds are still fresh from Amazon Prime Video.
Lol and no one clues in despite op claiming ads but not showing an actual ad…
And here I thought OP is cool and was watching Julie Ducournau’s 2016 film Raw…
You realize the membership explicitly states ad free? And you’re looking at a black screen where ads would otherwise be? Because this is a live broadcast.
Be pissed at Netflix for the exuberant price in contrast to lessening content, not for your lack of understanding.
Now you are a product using a product
And that’s why I dislike that popular saying. People don’t stop being products by paying for services. You’re always a product when using big tech. Only small businesses, nonprofit organizations and community services allow us not to be products, whether we pay or not for it.
“If it’s January, it’s cold” doesn’t imply it can’t be cold in other months.
There are many cases where we don’t pay and we’re not products. The phrase is false in any way.
Fun fact: many of the sayings I grew up with are halves of themselves at best.
The ol’ chestnut, “Great minds think alike”, for instance, was originally followed with “but, rarely do they differ.”, and that’s a completely different message & tone.
“Blood is thicker than water” used to be “The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb”— the absolute opposite of the common usage these days.
“Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back”;
“The early bird catches the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese”;
Idiom truncation is simply a part of diachronic morphism… though, when the cuckernutters’re running things, systemic stupid reigns. 🤷🏼♂️😶🤦🏼♂️
I personally like cutting them in half, and gluing disparate pieces together, like so:
“A few bad apples are right twice a day,” or “a trapped rat is worth two in the bush.”
I remember that Netflix thing, yeah. Its still around?
Meanwhile, my Freedom Plan:
- $0.00/eternity
- As large a resolution and bitrate as I wanted
- Play on my favorite media player
- Absolutely no ads anywhere
- Option to pay forward by seeding
Streamio exists.
It’s amazing that they’ve somehow reinvented cable but worse
At least with cable you got variety.
I remember the good old times when people recorded movies in TV with VHS recorders using automated time triggers, and some models used to be able to skip ads too. Just sayin’
What the actual fuck? Its almost like they WANT more piracy.
My favorite thing about Netflix is how quickly their releases appear on my media server.
Remember how far the cable industry pushed? These are the same people and they’ve learned nothing.
They’ve learned that most people are apathetic enough to just take it as long as they roll it slowly enough.
The first ad I see on Netflix will be the last. I will not pay for ads. You can’t have it both ways.
pirating time.
Why waiting? Setup your own Jellyfin server now. It’s free!
Jellyfin is also nice if you backup your DVD/VHS collection for serving rips. Or just for watching random public domain stuff. Or…y’know… legitimately obtained media…
Yeah, of course my 12 TB movies collection is legally sourced.
At this point a pirated site with an adblocker is a better experience than netflix.
Hahaha, Netflix embraces enshittification in a big old bear hug!
Grab uBlock Origin and enjoy! https://github.com/fmhy/FMHY/wiki/Streaming
They’re on chrome. It’s mildly their fault if they’re still on there
I’m guessing this is a bug because If this is true, I’m surprised that there’s no media companies reporting on it.
This sounds like a classic bait and switch, and this would be a click-haven for reporters
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.
that makes sense thank you!
Netflix very recently sent an email with an updated privacy policy which states that they sell the personal information of every customer to advertisers. There is a new toggle hidden in the options which is on by default and sells your data to 200+ companies.
