Autoplaying trailers peeved me, but I stuck with them anyways.
The day I have to watch an ad to view something in their library will be the day I cancel and cease all good will I feel for them.
This seems like such a negligent short-term-profit-maximizing error to even discuss publicly.
That doesn't sound like a CFO decision.
My thoughts exactly, that's not what a CFO does. They'll add the numbers up at the end of the quarter, but they don't make the decisions on how money is spent or earned.
"it's not something in our plan right now." Which means it's coming. Given the large amount of money Netflix has had to borrow to grow their library they will need to hike their monthly fees . Given this, they will also have to do something about the growing discontent with high fees. Which means, they will start to do what all other services are doing. They will split the service into two tiers, advertising vs no ad…
If they pull the garbage that Hulu does where they advertise in big letters "NO ADS!" and then in the fine print say "Some content may still have ads", then I will cancel that shit and return to pirating.

If Netflix gives me the choice of either watching ads or paying an extra $5/month, I'll pay the extra $5/month. If they pull the garbage that Hulu does where they advertise in big letters "NO ADS!" and then in the fine print say "Some content may still have ads", then I will cancel that shit and return to pirating.
Maybe I'll sign up for a month a year to catch up on exclusives, but I won't just let the subscription roll to support them anymore.

Oof, this is a very antiquated idea of a CFO's involvement. I've worked for a few and more often than not, they're on the front line with every decision.

Why not! Hulu has been pretty good so far with having 2 plans: - 1 cheap, with ads - 1 more premium, no ads It lets everyone vote with their wallet.
I vote for my wallet by not paying for Hulu.

I can’t believe this is actually legal. You show three two minute ads interspersed throughout a movie, after I specifically paid to not get ads?
