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.
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.
Thanks for the tip. It's per-profile, too, so if you have multiple profiles (family), you have to go into each profile and turn it off.
What you actually mean is you have to spin up sonarr, and the related apps and cancel Netflix.
Yes. But unfortunately, kids have wildly varying tastes and I just can't keep up with the limited space (8TB) on my NAS.
