K bro

Haha, we’ll just have to agree to disagree on movies and TV series being the same thing as watching a Twitch stream. :+1:

Spotify is 0$. Netflix is at least gonna price it $7, and then it’s gonna have ads, on top of their device limitations, select HD & 4K availability. Netflix is the best service from a global/localization, user experience, and streaming technology imo but they’re pushing it with these moves, they’re making it easier for others to catch up and maybe in 5 years takeover their leading position.

I honestly don’t mind an ad tier as long as the price is low enough.

YouTube Premium was nice to have on trial, but I’ll watch the ads and take it for free lol.

Im on the same boat. I really enjoy Netflix but it has got quite expensive here in Colombia. As long as it is priced reasonable I wont have a problem.

There are also other Apps that skip all YT Ad segments.

That’s 4pm EDT US on July 14th, for anyone wondering. Late in the day release for some reason.

I still don’t understand what is the problem. It is gonna be a cheaper price, so who cares if it has ads or not? I believe other services will come to that point too.

But man those ads can be infuriating on Youtube sometimes. Especially when it is a video that doesn’t even last a minute and you get two ads. Fucking hell.

Ah, I’d been meaning to watch since I’d seen it was set in Korea but knowing it’s about zombies I won’t. I kinda hate zombie stuff.

I guess at least it’s consistent. Somehow in my mind I didn’t put 2 and 2 together and realize it was the same thing.

Hulu is a better comparison.

Well deserved! The REmake 2 team brought flawlessly the old school RE gameplay in the modern age, I love this game so much
definitely one of the games with infinite replay value for me (every time I think or talk with a friend about this game I want to start a new playthrough).

Hopefully we’ll see gameplay from REmake 4 soon! :gimme:

Hulu ad experience on shows are the worst for a paid service. In a 22 minute show they have a 40 second ad at the beginning and then at least 3 more ad breaks of 1.5 minutes to 2 minutes. Sometimes they will had 4 ad breaks of 1 minutes to 2 minutes each. That puts them at 10 minutes of ads in an hour.

Paramount+ ad tier is a little bit less, around 9 to 10 minutes of ads per hour.

Peacock service is around 5 to 6 minutes of ads per hour.

HBOMax ad tier is around 4 minutes of ads per hour. Some content is less, like HBO originals and movies won’t have any, but others like Friends have 2 ad breaks in the middle.

Amazon Freevee (imdbtv) usually has 4 ad breaks of 30 to 60 seconds per 42 minutes TV Show. This would be around 3 to 6 minutes of ads per hour.

Standard TV has around 18 minutes of ads per hour, meaning 42 minutes of content in 60 minutes.

So what’s the problem with Netflix introducing ad tier if all other services already have it?

2131

I don’t think anything is wrong with that, they still offer ad free tiers
