Yup, that’s why I subscribed to Netflix. I refused to get a TV sub because of all the stupid ads. Netflix offered enough of a selection and had no ads. I cancelled my Disney+ sub because I wasn’t willing to pay the increased “no ads” price, and I’m trying to convince my wife to drop Netflix because of the increased “no ads” price. We also had problems with both service because we downloaded a bunch of videos to watch offline a week or two in advance (we had back-to-back trips), and we couldn’t access our content offline when we needed it.
Ads can suck on a fat one, I’m going back to buying physical media. I don’t care too much about the selection, I care about not having ads. I pay for Nebula because, you guessed it, no ads. I would pay for YouTube Premium, but their app sucks for offline viewing, and I’m better off with alternatives (e.g. Grayjay is a much better experience offline than YouTube Premium). I’m willing to pay extra to avoid ads, and the market seems intent on abusing me for it, so I’m noping out.
So the pricing is killing them (for you) not the ads.
No, the fact that they totally went back on their whole shtick (ad-free streaming) made me want to drop their service. If they didn’t have an ad-supported tier and increased the price, I’d probably still be with them. But since they have an ad-supported tier, and I know a thing or two about ad-revenue, I know they’re making far less through ads than the difference between the ad-supported and ad-free tiers, so they’re just fleecing me because they can.
If it was merely price, I would’ve left long ago because we honestly don’t watch that much Netflix (we kept it because it’s convenient). It’s the slap in the face and the apparent push toward ad-supported viewing that alienated me. I’d honestly prefer to pay more for a service that refuses to use advertising at all and has worse selection (e.g. Nebula, which is worse in pretty much every way vs YouTube, except creator compensation and lack of ads). I pay for Tuta, which is a worse experience in almost every way vs gmail precisely because it doesn’t harvest my data. If I was more concerned w/ price, I’d still be with gmail. Netflix showing ads means they have an incentive to sell my personal data, and I want nothing to do with it.
So…you don’t have a problem with the price, you’re just mad that they offer an ad-supported tier for other people?
I don’t like the price, but yes, my main problem is that they have an ad-supported tier. That means their focus has shifted from providing great content to attracting advertisers.
