Netflix peaked when it was supporting shows like Dark and Mindhunter and drove off the cliff since. My wife will subscribe for a month to watch a new season of a show like You and then cancel it again. That's versus back in 2017 when I just had the subscription all year.
Hate to see it but... it makes sense.
It's wrong, sure, in many ways (privacy, ecology, ethically depending on the dataset) but if there is 1 application where generative AI ads would make sense is through a personalized stream. So... yes it's bad, consumers might reject it, but it's not the actually dumbest way to use a terrible technology.
To be clear, again, I 100% hate it but if I was a greedy Netflix stakeholder I'd think "Hmmm yes, maybe!".
Amy Reinhard sounds like an asshole
