If the eyeballs move to netflix, the billions in ad revenue will move too.


If they bring ads to Netflix, I'm out.


It'll likely manifest as blatant and ridiculous product placement in the original programming, won't it?


Somehow I don't have a problem with that. What annoys me about ads is how they have nothing to do with what I want to be watching, and try to get in your head. Sing-song commercials and commercials for baby diapers make my blood boil, and that's not what I want when I'm trying to relax.


Fair enough. I'd much rather have 3-4 breaks in an episode to surf around online/make popcorn/whatever instead of stuff like this in every show I watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQYwFND7rHE


That's gotta be the most egregious product placement I've ever seen.
