They have ads and lot of popups. Collect what data ?? There are no personal information input. Netflix is the one collecting your personal data LOL

Not when there are ads being run. Who cares if they are a payers or users if Netflix gets paid per impressions by the company advertising.

i dont get why zendaya are in ads all over my city, american companies think shes some sex icon, shes built like a 13 year old boy

Yeah Reddit ads fucking blow haha, I’m a hypocrite cuz I use adblocker for this sight on PC. They redesigned it lately in a rollout basis which made the site atrocious, as in a post taking up my whole screen with no workaround. I don’t like old reddit so don’t mention it Hopefully my mobile use makes up for it, as ads are fine there

It’s so stupid. I’m with you. Now if there was a side load extension for blocking Reddit ads I may consider that. I see the dumbest ads on here. Some straight up crazy ones like “this supplement stack cured my cancer and diabetes at the same time” looking like a post you’re about to go clown on them for until you realize it’s an ad and get redirected to Amazon to buy VitaMAX 2254 secret proprietary blend of vitamin C and “others”.

Redditors are such entitled bitches when it comes to YouTube. Yes, removing dislikes was downright regarded, but regarding having to pay for premium or having ads, they insist on not giving YouTube a dime, or the creators. I pay $11 a month and creators get a 70/30 split which is pretty generous. I’m not going out of my way to side load apps on my TV or iPhone just to fuck over the platform I use, or the creators who spend months to create insanely good videos. YouTube is still losing money, but is subsidized by Google

Ads will basically kill them, I use it as a recommendation engine and then sail the seven seas. If T-Mobile ever drops them, I'm buying puts.

---

Why is Netflix gonna stop reporting subscriber numbers? Ads that’s why. Those fucking ads. Why is Walmart also getting into the ad business. They more money on ads. Fucking ads man

---

Just lol at the fucking idiots here who couldn't even comprehend that profit can go up even if you lose subscribers (ads and more expensive plans). And guess what even subscribers went up. Not surprised. Maybe not allowing people to share accounts is actually a good thing? Gasp. No way.

As I have pointed out on other posts their growth story is over. Even with a massive increase in subs they are in the decline revenue wise. Ads will never cover costs or even help pay for production costs unless they significantly cut output. They don’t have a business model to effectively monetize the very expensive original content they make. In order to understand this you need to understand how TV series make money. Content is very expensive to make and is monetized by licensing to multiple parties, and a successful TV series and franchise can be worth multiple billions over even short periods of time let alone lifetime. They will always have value because they haven’t licensed their original content and due to this the original content that have is very valuable, but not kept locked behind a paywall.
