I get an email notification that I’m on a new plan “with ads”. Me: Ok cool! Same price, not bothered Moments later: I can’t watch a movie until i “update to a plan with no ads” LOL wtf netflix??? Netflix PO, UX that gave the requirements for this BS explain yourself! SWEs who agreed to code this BS explain yourself
Randomly reminds me of a guy from my school who cheated his way through, barely passed, and is now an eng manager there. This was prolly just the fault of the marketing folks though.
Marketing isn't the department to blame for this.
Cool story. Now if you could make Jira load a little bit faster, that would be great.
Some titles can't be played with ads for contractual reasons
Ok i’d switch to no ads but then pricing is double??? I think Netflix doesn’t realize how many people aren’t really engaged but still pay because its $7. At $15 i start to realize i don’t even use Netflix that much and i need to cancel subscription
Yeah the ads supported plan is meant to provide and option for people that don't want to pay the full price, also for those that can't (including in developing countries). It is a shame that not all content works, maybe that will improve as new contracts are negotiated, idk

Any Indians Think Kashmir Should be Independent?
I am not sure how Netflix reported good quarter. Barely any decent show came up. Most of them are in other languages.
Other language folks also pay for subscriptions
Exactly the problem is not pricing its content
