    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.

    Netflix peaked when it was supporting shows like Dark and Mindhunter and drove off the cliff since. My wife will subscribe for a month to watch a new season of a show like You and then cancel it again. That’s versus back in 2017 when I just had the subscription all year.

        Yes. I have a masters degree in digital marketing, and I’m very excited for this.
