    It really was nice while streaming lasted. Shame these companies continually allow greed to drive me back into the arms of piracy.

      Devil’s Advocate here, but I wonder if that could be a choice made by the creatives or the production company - like, “we hate advertising and don’t want it shown during our show, so that’s the kind of licence we will agree to”.

      I think a lot of people would applaud that sentiment of refusing to have ads in their show.

      Unfortunately the result would be that for noble, purity of the art, reasons they end up accidentally screwing people in your situation.

      No idea if that’s plausible, but maybe?

        Yeah, I feel like there is a lot at play even in terms of how the content is paid for. Maybe netflix only gets the ad money and not the creatives, in which case they don’t want their content on the ad version. Either way, the customer suffers.

    I went back to sailing 6 months ago and dropped Netflix and Prime. I can get free shipping most anywhere now, but it’s usually slow to get here. When I tried to watch a show on Prime and got ads as frequently as basic cable I was done.

      My original reason to get Prime was that I was building a PC and the no-fuss returns policy seemed like good insurance against faulty parts. Some sellers blame problems on the customer or otherwise drag their feet on returns. TBH I hardly watch Prime anymore, but the ads really are annoying. It’s like “Oh sorry, the pitted olives will have pits from now on.”

      I’ve come to the conclusion that some people would be satisfied with an entertainment technology that does nothing but display ads. And it probably like 10% of the population.

        This has existed for decades in the form of a game show called “The Price is Right”. It’s obscene that they break away to commercials when the show itself is just an endless parade of consumer products presented by beautiful humans.

      I may or may not have done this but even with a 1Gbps fiber connection sometimes it still buffers a lot. :(

    It’s a licensing issue. They don’t have the rights to show every movie or show ad supported.

        For one you can read the article. But it’s a long standing thing. When you license a film or show for streaming, you don’t inherently get the right to show ads during it. Some studios specifically exclude the right, some charge more, some don’t care. The deals made for some of the Netflix originals don’t even allow it, so they can’t show their “own” shows with ads. The reality is often times streaming services aren’t even making their original shows, they’re just paying a bunch of money for exclusive distribution in one or more markets. So, older deals especially, Netflix didn’t negotiate for ad rights because they weren’t showing ads back then. Some production companies don’t want ads running during their prestige show.
