Netflix is launching its own ad tech platform only a year and a half after entering the advertising business.
Well, this sounds terrible
It’s like their password sharing crackdown made people accuse them of being out of touch and they respond like “out of touch? Us?! Lmao, watch this!”
I am outraged as well, but arguably this is competition, and how many corpos with deep pockets can legitimately fight Google/Amazon without going broke. This feels like loss but with a really strong silver lining.
Surely competition will make advertising better for consumers!
Yay, another billions of dollars invested in new ways to show me ads.
I used to be excited by new things in tech but all I can think is “what the fuck now”
Please tell me its not just me getting old

It’s only logical. They already show ads. When they run their own ad tech stack, they cut out the middle man and earn all the money themselves.
Sure it takes a bit of work to get customers and such, but when you’re a company of that size with that many customers, it shouldn’t be that hard.
Even at a lower level, i use to see “update” and think oo what feature or functionality has come out?
Now its like “fuck im forced to update, what feature are they removing or putting behind a paywall now”
you’re right, everything sucks now. literally everything is about stuffing ads in your face and spying on you. on top of taking your money of course.
