Netflix queries

[Hosenbugler]

Just been on their website to have a look at the varying levels of sub that can be taken out.

Its raised a question or two, regarding content type and sub level.

Firstly, does Netflix preach modern "issues" in it's content? I watch TV for escapism, the last thing I want is to be lectured regarding things deemed "fashionable" by those driving such stuff.

Secondly. I see the lowest cost sub at £4.99 offers 1080p resoluition with ads. It also says I can register the sub on my computer. So, If I watch on said computer , would my browser , with it's adblocker filter out the ads or does Netflix detect the block and hoof you out?
I watch most of my Youtube input on my comp and the adblocker works a treat (I use a Firefox add on. )

Actually , I've thought of a third question . How does the frequency of ads on the Netflix acc I mention compare with the frequency on Youtube? Or again, if known, how many minutes of ads per hour watched.
Anybody any ideas, thoughts?

Cheers.

To avoid the ads you could go for the £6.99 per month plan.

With regard to content, it's wide and varied, and from lots of countries. Perhaps buy a gift card from a supermarket and get a months subscription to see if you like it.

Or just subscribe for a month?

Most of the stuff actually commissioned by Netflix is garbage anyway. It's certainly not worth any money if that's your only reason for getting it.

We're just waiting for the password sharing crackdown and we'll be getting rid.

You will hate it. Some of their content has women, who are seen talking back.

And that is just the tip of the iceberg.

You absolute snowflake.

Yes, if you watch it it will turn you into a member of Just Stop Oil if you are not careful.

I subscribed eight years ago and now live in a yurt.

You know you can choose which bits of content you want to watch, right? It’s on demand, too!

They used to do a free trial, but that seems to have gone. Sign up for a month at £6.99, cancel if you hate it (or you’ve seen everything you want to watch).

This is how people should be using these subscription streaming services, rather than subscribing to everything indefinitely.

Just binge anything that takes your fancy for a few weeks. Then ignore it for a year or so, then go back and catch up.
