If I see one ad, I guarantee I cancel and download elsewhere.

It sounds like they'll charge extra to avoid the ads. Based on other services, it'll be like $5 a month. I'm still trying to figure out why advertisers would want to exclusively target Americans with under $5 / month of disposable income. My big fear is that they'll make tracking and selling profile data mandatory. If it comes down to it, I guess other sources of Netflix content exist.

They’re just targeting people who think the ads aren’t a big deal. I know people making massive money who sit through Youtube and Hulu ads. I’m the only person I know who subscribed to Youtube premium it seems. So, plenty of people to target with ads. Even HNers making big bucks.

I have Netflix but I still download Netflix shows online from a different source because it is more convenient... and there will not be any ads

Just curious, how is it more convenient? I assume you have a device that can’t stream Netflix? Downloading off of Netflix I believe you also miss out on Dolby Atmos, Dolby Vision, etc
