I was confused at first about what ADS is...

It's ads. Not A.D.S... lol

A new innovative way to watch your favourite shows on Netflix!

Don't worry, the price of your plan won't change! Also we will be adding a new Netflix scope-free plan for just an additional $5.99 per month.

luckily, on Lemmy we can edit titles, so, the title is now edited accordingly.

Thank you! I wasn't even calling it out, I was just legitimately confused, haha

Smart gamers already knew this was Netflix's goal. The company's management didn't have to leave us in suspense for long.

I love the idea of getting advertising on platforms I pay for.

I mean, I never used Netflix Games, but it's really silly where your one gimmick is undermined.

"Only 1% of subscribers play the games"

Yeah, this'll definitely help that problem

Ah, well that niceness was much shorter lived than expected. Oh well, my VPN will continue to block the ads anyway.
