I JUST WISH IT WOULD LET ME WATCH THE CREDITS INSTEAD OF INSTANTLY CUTTING TO "Don't you want to watch this shytty Adam Sandler movie RIGHT NOW?" BROTHER!

The credits still play in the background while showing you other stuff, just click on the screen...:comeon:

If Netflix is worried about their budget then they never should've threw money at Adam Sandler. If they add some ads they'll lose some subscribers but they'll be okay

Theres no good way to solve this "problem"

Ad revenue is a signal that you live in a society that can produce creative content. Most nations can't even do that.

Consumers are just going to have to suck it up one way or another. You can't keep passing costs on.
with all due respect and no offense intended, but you're a fukking idiot...I mean that in the most technical way possible :ehh:

if your already paying money you shouldnt have to deal with ads
Hello

It's why I don't fukk with Hulu

I can already access any show I want off of a few links, I just pay for Netflix for the convenience.
If I have to deal w/ adds, I'm watching OITNB and House on one of many websites instead.

And this right here is nothing but the truth.

Recent article about Netflix in the Times.

One of the most prominent Netflix skeptics is Michael Pachter, a research analyst at Wedbush Securities, a Los Angeles-based investment bank. In his view, Netflix’s true advantage in the beginning was that it had the entire game to itself, and the networks, not realizing how valuable streaming rights would be, practically gave them away. He had a “buy” on the stock from 2007 to 2010, he told me. But, he added, referring to those years when Netflix had streaming all to itself, “If it’s too good to be true, then it will attract competition.”

Now, he said, the networks and studios are charging higher fees for their shows, forcing up Netflix’s costs. Netflix doesn’t own most of the shows that it buys or commissions, like “House of Cards,” so it has to pay more when it renews a popular show. In addition to the money it now spends on content, it also has more than $12 billion in future obligations for shows it has ordered. The only way it can pay for all of that is to continue adding subscribers and raise subscription rates. And even then, Pachter says, the networks will extract a piece of any extra revenue Netflix generates. “It is naïve to think that Netflix can raise its price by $2 a month and keep all the upside,” he said. “I defy you to look at any form of content where the distributor raises prices and the supplier doesn’t get more. That’s the dumbest thing I ever heard.

“Netflix,” Pachter concluded, “is caught in an arms race they invented.” He compared Netflix to a rat racing on a wheel, staying ahead only by going faster and faster and spending more and more: As its costs continue to go up, it needs to constantly generate more subscribers to stay ahead of others.

I guess another way to offset costs would be with the ads.:francis:
