Comment on Netflix used to not have ads, now it’s ‘celebrating’ two years with them
archonet@lemy.lol 4 days agoI mean, setting up Mullvad too isn’t that hard and compared to a Netflix subscription, it’s paid for itself several times over in the time I’ve had it. But I get that that might not be something your friends are willing to fiddle with.
That said, we’re on Lemmy, in the technology community – I’m reasonably confident that almost everyone here who is going to read your comment has the skills necessary to setup Mullvad and Plex; if not the entire *arr suite, a NAS, and Jellyfin.

Yeah, my comment was getting more at the fact I have loved ones whose behaviour I can shift in small ways, such as by sending a link to an add on to block ads.
Especially as the blockage isn’t necessarily the skills, but a more nebulous sense of unease that I wonder whether is linked to the “you wouldn’t download a car” era of anti-piracy ads
