Why would I care. If they think it’s profitable, I have no arguments against it. I’m not paying attention to the ads anyways.
What the fuck is up with that image of Wednesday?! It doesn’t look like Ortega’s Wednesday to me. Is it ai generated?
Ahhhh, man moving away from corps just keeps on giving (or in this case, doesn’t enshitify while proprietary ones do).
Quit netflix ages ago, but is add blocking not going to work here? I addblock on hulu no problem.
I’M HERE FOR IT. This is the future, and I’m genuinely invested in this (I’ve spoken to marketing industry people about how cool this could be).
Aside from 🏴☠️ there are simply too many legitimate pay streaming options in 2025 for Netflix to think they can do this. This will end like an arrogant urban cowboy being flung off a mechanical bull and I’m all for it.
Is your egg too expensive?
Look no further. Our egg is much smoother and can be worn with most garments.EggEgg. For your egg.
Either they have great technology, or they have great entertainment,” she said. “Our superpower has always been the fact that we have both.
Please. Your software is an image carousel and a video player.
Jellyfin does all that and more.
We’re no longer in the days of competing with a USB stick and hoping the TV will play whatever format it’s in, or using VLC and a laptop.
They don’t even show you ratings for the stuff, because they want you to waste your time watching the junk tier shit they can still afford.
Eh to Netflix’s credit, both their backend and frontend are much better than their competition. Much better ux, and streams much more consistently. We pick up a sub for a month here and there. But AI ads will make me never go back.
Lemmy is the king of the disingenuous argument, as though somehow admitting that yes, Netflix is the gold standard for pay-to-stream, it somehow dilutes the argument against AI ads.
…it somehow dilutes the argument against AI ads.
I didn’t think it diluted the arguement. They were just disagreeing with the prior poster. At the end, they even state:
But AI ads will make me never go back.
Yeah, I was agreeing with the person I responded to, and my comment related to the person they were responding to. Obviously this format can leave that a little unclear. Basically, two comments up from mine was this disingenuous argument that Netflix is trash, and that’s just wrong, but it’s an argument I see used about any number of things here on Lemmy, and to me, it dilutes the argument, because you’re clearly coming from this place of bias right out of the gate.
I just think it’s okay to say a product itself provides a good service, but that they’re fucking it all up by injecting shit into it, to the point that, regardless of how quality the product may be, the injected shit is so repugnant that I would abandon this quality product for it.
Sorry, misunderstood.
It’s a me problem, I think I tend to write how I speak, and I just expect everyone to get on board.
Well piracy is the only way then.
Is there a way to poison the well so badly and so irrevocably that corporations won’t dare use generative AI for anything? Can we somehow trick these overgrown chatbots to speak ill of their masters in the form of direct-to-stream advertisements?
Ask Musk. He managed to do it on accident.
🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️ cmon people, stop making netflix relevant
You actually want most people to pay for this crap so stuff still gets made for us to pirate. Thanks, rubes!
I want to pay. I want creators to be fairly compensated for their work. I just want a structure that doesn’t require a predatory middleman that adds no value.
nah, i want the enshittified services to die so we can have someone else do it properly for a few years before enshittifying again, rinse repeat until capitalism ends.
Since capitalism isn’t ending any time soon, I’ll have to be satisfied with leeching from it where possible.
exactly.
Nice ahoy mateys!
If I down vote this does it show my disappointment of netflix or the OP? 🤔
The OP. They’re just the messenger.
