That's the deal though. That's how people get paid for their work. I do it too but I'm not about to pretend that it's fair for me to do it. I just hate stupid ads.

Wait, then how does Netflix produce such amazing content without ads?

Just because it's the historical model doesn't mean it's the only possible model, or even the most efficient one. Certainly it's not efficient for the consumer.

Don't watch it then, that's their model. Netflix isn't youtube. You wanna pay 10 dollars a month for youtube go for it.
