I mean, this is for the ad-supported tier. For $8/mo, it tells you right there it includes ads when you sign up.
Only sensible answer. It's still enshitification, but it's the open kind and there are still legitimate ad-free tiers. I don't think Amazon Prime even has that.
Nobody read the article.
I'm all against ads and enshitification and Netflix's recent price hikes but people are just ranting now.
It just sounds like the ads have gotten more annoying is all. And worse for the environment. And more expensive for Netflix. But maybe higher value because they force you to interact with them?
