Didnt Netflix just start doing ads on there again?
Hadn’t heard that, do you have a source?
I’d be pretty surprised if most didn’t start their ad buys again. Even if it’s lower volume (and at discounts). As soon as everyone stops focusing on these things (after a month or whatever) things tend to go back to business as usual.
The article indicates they haven’t yet, though.

Eh, maybe if their MAU wasn’t just on a continual decline. It’s just not sustainable, especially when so much of the MAU are bots.
Wish I could cancel our Netflix subscription for a second time, but fortunately/unfortunately we stopped giving them money when they announced they would fuck around with accounts shared within a family. Eat shit, Netflix
