Doesn't this already exist or did I imagine it?
I thought they introduced it years ago
Edit: oh I read again, this time it's free
Then:
Pay + ad
Now:
Free to watch + ads
See, now I'm fine with that. I pay for Netflix and I want what I pay for to stay ad-free. Having an ad-supported tier with no fee in addition to that means that there are options for other people without enshittifying my experience.
That's a world of difference to what Amazon have done where they've shoved ads into the service that I thought I was paying for, and then offered to charge me even more to get my original ad-free service back.
Yeah, it's the reason I cancelled Amazon the day they announced that, while Netflix shambles on.
Depends on whether they start making shows with ad breaks in mind. Because the cut where the ad was, while not nearly as annoying as an actual ad, still diminishes the quality of the show imo.
