Recently rumored that Netflix and Hulu are disscussing
changing their platform subscription fees to 'free'.
Though Netflix has pretty much shot itself in both
feet, this might interest some deplorables.
So be on your toes for future developments.

I'm assuming Netflix and others are looking into an ad-supported model. I would be all in for that, for their original content alone. I really don't mind the ads so much.
Yes, ad supported. They realize all the business they are
missing. Like the Venus Fly Trap, sweet nectar is needed.
Netflix is woke.....I wouldn’t subscribe even if it was free.
Netflix is already in the “free with ads” business with FreeVee.
Oops, FreeVee is an Amazon product, not Netflix.
Tubi is free. They have a faith section.
Search for Tetelestai. Five stars! In my opinion.
Ad-supported seems to be the most popular.
Those are okay, except that some run up to 8 short ad that do run several minutes in frequent clusters. Some run as few as one or two per ad break.
Peacock runs a few ads at the beginning of a movie, and then have no more ads until the end of the movie.
I heard one exec of Hulu several years ago say they intended to eventually increase the advertising amount to the level ads are on broadcast/network/cable/satellite now.
Not everything on Netflix is woke. I am currently the series on The Hatfields & McCoys with Kevin Costner, Tom Berlinger and Bill Paxton. It is excellent.
To answer other posters on this thread, Netflix having "woke" content doesn't bother me and that wasn't why I cancelled it. I just don't click on that content. I would think it silly if a Democrat cancelled Netflix for having a Trump documentary. All they have to do is ignore it like I ignore their stuff.
I agree.
However, when they signed and paid millions to the Obamas was when I cancelled it. I don't want my money going to them if I can help it.
Ads don’t bother me
/\
I hate them.
Im Sick of the perv agenda in them.
The Covid booster pushing.
No commercials was the only reason I had Netflix.
( till they went full blown perv)
.
I don’t have Netflix or Hulu but, not going to lie, the streaming services with forced ads (“1 of 8”, etc) drive me up a wall. I enjoyed things much better when I had cable service and could just DVR everything and fast forward thru the commercials. Of course the tradeoff is I pay much less than previously with cable.
I think you miss my point. I don’t watch them. I use that time to do other things like check my social media, go to the bathroom, or get something to drink.
I did miss your point.
/-).
I confess ,
I was just venting about the sewer commercials have become.
. on a brighter note,,,
, I saw a commercial for a new streaming service called
PUREFLIX
Going looking for it now.
Still, they do offer a wide variety.
I hope Netflix stays as is. It has the best interface IMO and I have no desire to sit through commercials although I will do it to watch certain content.
I much prefer paying YouTube $13 per month not to watch commercials popped in at in opportune times.
you couldn’t pay me enough to sit or wait through ads ... my little remaining time is WAY more valuable than to waste it like that ... if i can’t pay for ad-free entertainment, then i’m done ...
