Comment on Netflix will show generative AI ads midway through streams in 2026
Kushan@lemmy.world 5 hours agoI think it’ll be somewhere in the middle. Quite a few people have not had to deal with ads in streaming for many years now, if it’s suddenly forced it’ll piss off a lot
I don’t think they’re all going to suddenly pirate again, I think many will just switch to other streaming providers.
If they all start doing the shitty ads, we’re fucked.

People might be forced to stop paying for these services, at least at their current prices. The recession might force the needed step back from consumerism. If the average person has 4 streaming services, and tightens their bet to “just” 1, that’s a 3/4ths reduction in subscribers across the industry.
