The streaming giant also noted all users should be shown a "skip" button when they see an advertisement. Moreover, the videos aren't random but are personalized recommendations based on the viewer's tastes. The ads should be exclusively for Netflix original content and not shows or movies licensed from other networks, a Netflix spokesperson said.
However, one user on Reddit claims they were served an ad for Better Call Saul , which is not a Netflix original. Nonetheless, people were frustrated by the sudden appearance and many took to social media to voice their, uh, let's say displeasure. A spokesperson told CNN that Netflix tests hundreds of features annually and most are left on the cutting room floor.
However, that's clearly not much comfort to anyone incensed by the sudden appearance of advertisements on their pay subscription service. If you fall into that category, here's how you can opt out of the test group. There's a way to access this feature through settings -- one of many Netflix hacks you should be using -- but you can go right to the page by navigating to Netflix.
Meanwhile, Netflix has made it clear on multiple occasions that it will never bring ads to its service. One of the most interesting comments he made during the interview was in response to a question about ads on Netflix:. You know, advertising looks easy until you get in it. So a cheaper ad-supported tier might not be in the works, but Netflix is still trying new things to expand its reach, such as sharing a limited selection of original content that anyone can watch for free.
