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.
Streamio exists.
I remember that Netflix thing, yeah. Its still around?
Meanwhile, my Freedom Plan:
also, any screen format and zoom you like, choice of any language subtitles...
At this point a pirated site with an adblocker is a better experience than netflix.
My wife pays 5 eur for low tier subscription for netflix. Once I have shown her Myflixer, she began to watch it more often than netflix.
Big bonus for netflix is language audio and subtitles. Even if I did set usenet and sabnzbd to get local-language media, unfortunately it doesnt't have everything. So she still watches netflix from time to time.
Sidenote: pihole (I guess any DNS sinkhole) is able to block netflix ads both in browser and in app. She praised my selfhosted setup for that so much 😁
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.
And here I thought OP is cool and was watching Julie Ducournau’s 2016 film Raw…
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.
Maybe the wounds are still fresh from Amazon Prime Video.
ohh let us have our hate, it fuels us :)
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
Lol and no one clues in despite op claiming ads but not showing an actual ad...
The first ad I see on Netflix will be the last. I will not pay for ads. You can't have it both ways.
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.
pirating time.
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."
The Boondock Saints've gotcha sorted, then.
What the actual fuck? Its almost like they WANT more piracy.
For live video? Lol, OP would rather actually watch commercials than a black screen while everyone else watching the live event had to actually watch the commercials.
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.
HBO MAX MAX CINEMAX SHOWTIMEBOX HBO MAX PLUS PLUS GO or whatever the fuck it's called now did this to me a while back when I was on their premium ad-free plan. They told me that the commercial breaks in the middle of shows advertising american football or some other sports crap weren't ads because they were showcasing HBO content or some such. They claimed that those commercial breaks only show up at the beginning of movies/shows. When I sent them video of me watching something, 10 minutes into the show, and the ad aired, they still did not back down on that claim.
So, guess who hasn't bothered with HBO MAX MAX CINEMAX SHOWTIMEBOX HBO MAX PLUS PLUS GO ever since.
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.
Time to reaquaint myself with physical media. I've had enough of this shit. I only signed up to watch the new Unsolved Mysteries, anyways. I'm sure I can sail the seas to find that quite easily.
It's amazing that they've somehow reinvented cable but worse
At least with cable you got variety.
Hahaha, Netflix embraces enshittification in a big old bear hug!
