Jesus, then just don’t use their ads tier and you won’t ever have to see ads, or even evidence they exist. It’s not “anti-user”, it’s anti-prepend, apparently, and it ain’t all about you and your particular life circumstances. Some people can’t afford (or justify affording) Netflix but would enjoy watching Netflix content. This will allow them to.

And supporting ads and improving recommendations aren’t mutually exclusive, and to suggest the former will prevent the latter is a false dichotomy. How long have you thought that their recommendations have sucked? Months? Years? Always? And in all that time they didn’t improve things to your liking. How does building out an ads tier change that?
