    The first ad I see on Netflix will be the last. I will not pay for ads. You can’t have it both ways.

    Doesn’t look like an ad. Looks like the live WWE Raw event you’re watching is showing ads on other platforms and you’re seeing a black screen until it resumes…

    Get mad about real things yall. We don’t need to fake outrage when there is actual bad things happening.

      Yeah, the live event is on commercial break. Your Netflix sub doesn’t alter time itself.

      Can’t believe how much blind hate in this thread when the screenshot doesn’t match the claim.

        Excuse me, I upgraded to the special relativity plan for exactly this reason and I’m entitled to my rage

    Time to reaquaint myself with physical media. I’ve had enough of this shit. I only signed up to watch the new Unsolved Mysteries, anyways. I’m sure I can sail the seas to find that quite easily.

      They’re on chrome. It’s mildly their fault if they’re still on there

      I know there is an argument between ublock and pihole, I prefer pihole I have worked on my pihole set up to be better than ublock but ublock for ease of use I guess.

        Pihole is good to affect an entire network of devices without anything needed on the device. Ublock is good to affect a single device on any network, like your phone while outside the house. I use both as well as rethink which when in DNS-only mode does basically what pihole does at the device level. Of course, each has other functionality as well with various advantages and disadvantages, but at a high level they are not exactly an either/or kind of thing necessarily.

    HBO MAX MAX CINEMAX SHOWTIMEBOX HBO MAX PLUS PLUS GO or whatever the fuck it’s called now did this to me a while back when I was on their premium ad-free plan. They told me that the commercial breaks in the middle of shows advertising american football or some other sports crap weren’t ads because they were showcasing HBO content or some such. They claimed that those commercial breaks only show up at the beginning of movies/shows. When I sent them video of me watching something, 10 minutes into the show, and the ad aired, they still did not back down on that claim.

    So, guess who hasn’t bothered with HBO MAX MAX CINEMAX SHOWTIMEBOX HBO MAX PLUS PLUS GO ever since.

      Remember how far the cable industry pushed? These are the same people and they’ve learned nothing.

        They’ve learned that most people are apathetic enough to just take it as long as they roll it slowly enough.

    I’m guessing this is a bug because If this is true, I’m surprised that there’s no media companies reporting on it.

    This sounds like a classic bait and switch, and this would be a click-haven for reporters

      Netflix very recently sent an email with an updated privacy policy which states that they sell the personal information of every customer to advertisers. There is a new toggle hidden in the options which is on by default and sells your data to 200+ companies.

        Thanks for the tip. It’s per-profile, too, so if you have multiple profiles (family), you have to go into each profile and turn it off.

          What you actually mean is you have to spin up sonarr, and the related apps and cancel Netflix.

      And that’s why I dislike that popular saying. People don’t stop being products by paying for services. You’re always a product when using big tech. Only small businesses, nonprofit organizations and community services allow us not to be products, whether we pay or not for it.

          There are many cases where we don’t pay and we’re not products. The phrase is false in any way.
