Same. People need to start reacting to that stuff and actually unsubscribe. If you go along with it complacently, companies are only going to double down.

They're already doing this lol.
Netflix also plans to introduce “personalized ad loads and frequency caps that dynamically adjust the ads our members see, based on their viewing behaviors.” Netflix hasn’t shared any more details about how this could work. The big question is whether streaming more on Netflix could result in fewer ads per episode or film.
This is why I prefer the open seas. Arrr, me matey! A pirate's life for me!
Glad I learned about jellyfin and stremio.
Built an arr server a few months back and I've never been happier
I'd plan to download even more torrents of netflix series, but it's not like they've got anything worth watching anyway.
Do it!
Let me know when they find a way to get ads into the torrented copies of their shows.
They're one step away from dictating the content to be tailored to ads. Which is the natural end of running ads on your fucking service.
Apple TV+ remains the only streaming service I continue to pay for.
New Netflix tier: Platinum
Platinum plan: 100% ads 24/7 400days out of the year.
Price: 50$
