Now that Netflix have started introducing adverts I am now, well, watching more adverts than I have for a decade or more.
There's a Microsoft one promoting its AI offering and it's ... slightly sorta horrifying.
There's one where some corporate lackey wears lots of hats - and this is celebrated, seemingly. She manages this overload of work by using co-pilot to generate content and such and.. in what fucking universe is that a net positive?
I mean - as an advert consumer - i'm basically being encouraged to lap up the automatated creation of bilge water content?
Who actually wants that?
I get it (don't at all like it) from the production side - "make content, cheap", but I'm also a viewed as a consumer and .. I really don't want to know how the sausage is made, and yet there goes Microsoft gleefully expounding on its capacity for shite generation.
Is BigTech really that much in awe of itself?
- I’ve not seen any ads, and I don’t believe there will be any on any but the lowest ad supported tier.monospaced
- Must you always be so .. you?Nairn
- the trade off is that for ad supported Netflix you’re getting over a 50% discount.monospaced
- Huh? You’re acting like Netflix added ads. They didn’t. They added a cheaper option with ads. I’m not being weird.monospaced
- Netflix literally added adverts to the tier we're on. Perhaps this isn't your experience, but then yours is .. well, yours.Nairn
- Sorry if I’m off topic. Sincerely.monospaced
- It's like one ad a day, but that wasn't supposed to be the gist of my post, rather an introduction as to 'how i got here'.Nairn
- I understand.monospaced
