    It makes perfect sense to me. First, not are as opposed to ads as you might be. Having grown up in the era of commercial TV, they are just a minor annoyance to me. Second, some people may rarely watch Netflix. Such a cheap plan lets people keep it for those few shows they still watch.

    To me, the bigger mystery is why there isn’t a 1-screen 4K package. Forcing people to buy 4 screens when they only watch 1 at a time is what drives sharing. Not everyone has a ton of kids that all want to watch something different.

        3 long commercial breaks in a 30 minute time block, is enough to radicalize anyone, lol.

      I grew up with commercial TV, too. But somewhere along the way I lost my tolerance for ads. I’ll pay to get rid of them, but if that’s not an option, I just don’t watch the show.

      Because: f*** you, that’s why. You want 4K buy premium - Netflix execs, probably
