Comment on Netflix will show generative AI ads midway through streams in 2026

I’m not familiar with how Netflix’s ad tier works and am almost afraid to ask, but could someone ELI5?
If a company wanted to push an ad on Netflix, wouldn’t it be up to them to decide whether to use AI make the thing? Or is this sort of the equivalent of a small business sending a script to the local radio station to have the DJ read it (i.e. rather than producing their own ad), except they add some AI-generated visuals?

I never subscribed to netflix because I’m not an idiot and just used free streaming sites for over a decade.
My peers would tell me that there are different pricing models and you can pay more to get rid of ads.
It’s all fucked by design, but this generation is too stupid to realize it or do anything about it.
