Yea I tried signing up to Netflix again since they had added the new plans and ads. Didn’t last more than the first/initial month/payment. What hot garbage that experience was. The 90s experience of having a cable person come over and install something would have been more user friendly. They lost a lot of good will from me as a customer that day, I’m not sure I’ll ever go back.
Chiefly, a bunch of compatibility issues arose because their ad tracking had a bunch of requirements for some reason. We went from being able to watch anything on our TV to only being able to watch Netflix in a laptop screen.
Part of that is that we keep older hardware going. But that hasn’t been a problem for any other streaming service up until now.
Not to mention that I was paying for … ads. Nah! I’m old enough to have gone through the same thing with cable TV. No ads at first, and then they crept in, and at some point you were sitting there wondering what you were paying for again.
There are no “ads” on netflix though? Are you calling “here are shows that you can watch on the streaming service that you’re paying for” ads?
I still don’t understand your sign up issue. Were you trying to sign up on a TV? There are no “ad tracking requirements” for any of their apps that run on a tv.

What do you mean by the experience was hot garbage? Signing up for a netflix account? It’s about as straight forward as it can possibly get.
