I'd love to sit down and have a beer with you just to see what makes you tick. Hell, I'd even buy the beer so long as I'm not wasting that extra money on ad-free netflix.
I'd be willing to put up with a few non-intrusive adds if it saved me some money and allowed Netflix to continue operating at the current rates. Pretty simple and makes sense to me. I guess I can see both sides as a consumer and as a business manager more clearly than others. I just don't understand why if someone else offers a different point of view the thing first thing someone does is insults you and or tell you your crazy or live in la la land. After that I consider it gloves off...
As long as they continue to offer a No-Ad tier that isn't a huge price hike, I don't see the problem. It makes sense that a monthly subscription would go up at some points because of inflation etc. I'd be fine coughing up $2 more a month for a guarantee I wont see any Ads (excluding the product placement stuff is of course not going to happen).
We pay for both Netflix streaming and Hulu (Ad-Free) and it's been awesome. Sprinkle in the occasional Redbox BR rental and our ass-on-sofa entertainment expenses are pretty damn low compared to what they were back when we had cable with a few premium channels.

Yup. It was the first thing I thought of when reading this. I'd cancel as I already don't watch streaming much lately and I'd probably cancel my dvd sub as well.

I find it hilarious the guy running around calling people entitled all over the place is playing the victim card.
Just to clarify, you threw the first insult.

I think you should start sniffing around for burning toast. Advertising has always been a part of non-premium CATV channels, even in the 80s and 90s. I still have VHS recordings of Night Flight on the USA Network, loaded with ads.
These channels couldn't possibly operate without advertising revenue.

Well when I look at the 2000+ Blueray/DVD rips on my Plex server sitting on a 18TB NAS. I can clearly see the difference between my Plex system and Netflix.
Lets do a quick break down.
Netflix: Pay subscription based content streaming services for movies and TV shows hosted and controlled by Netflix.
Plex: Personal Media solution that is hosted in your internal network on your own hardware with your own provided content.
Yep still different.
