This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I can't tell from the article what the AI side of this is? Are Netflix offering to make adverts for customslrs using AI? Are they just showing adverts in general from customers, including AI generated ones?
I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but I've read the article twice and still don't know π
the streaming leader announced that it has created interactive mid-roll ads and pause ads that incorporate generative AI.
Thanks! Somehow missed that, but I still don't really understand the details, like how and whyit incorporates generative AI, and if these are for Netflix or for Netflix ad customers.
My reading is that some of the ads will be generated via AI maybe to be customised to the account of the person viewing it. I suspect that won't last very long at some point it'll come up with an amusing failure and then it'll get switched off.
Is there a plugin for Stremio that provides a kid's profile function? That's the only thing keeping me from canceling my Netflix subscription.
!piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com Piracy ftw!
Half of new Netflix subscribers opt for the $8 per month option rather than ad-free subscriptions, which start at $18 per month, the company says.
Damn, when did it get so expensive? Assuming that's USD. That's a decent amount more than Disney+, right?
Actually not much more I think disney + ad free tier is like $16 now. Though I don't think they- charge extra for 4k so there is that.
Oh I was comparing Disney+ Standard to Netflix Standard. Turns out there's also Netflix Basic which is a similar price to Disney+ Standard, but with many more restrictions.
I think Disney+ Standard and Netflix Standard seem to be comparable. In NZD Disney+ is $16.99 (approx $10USD)and Netflix is $25.99 (approx $15USD) per month. Disney+ gives annual discounts as well.
None of the plans in NZ seem to have ads (yet...).
Though I donβt think they- charge extra for 4k so there is that.
Out of the two plans I see, the Standard only includes up to 1080p and 4k requires Premium, $21.99NZD (approx $13USD).
The most expensive is Amazon prime video but that's because it gets bundled with the rest of Amazon prime. Ignoring that one though Netflix is absolutely the most expensive.
Haha, the kicker is that it's pure greed. With their prices they don't need it and could improve it with what the community wants, but $$$, hey... been away for nearly 2 years now, thought of tipping my toes in again but with that they can f... right off.
Line must always go brrrrr.
Got rid of netflix when they started their ad tier. NEVER going back.
Either they have great technology, or they have great entertainment,β she said. βOur superpower has always been the fact that we have both.
Please. Your software is an image carousel and a video player.
Their software is the best in the industry. Even on a gigabit connection I've had issues with both Amazon Prime video and Disney plus.
Both of those platforms have issues where their servers just seem to get bored and stops sending data, like they just forgot about you And you have to refresh the page to play any more of the video. As soon as you do that it starts playing again so it's definitely not a network issue. I've had this problem on both the website and the smart TV app.
Jellyfin does all that and more.
We're no longer in the days of competing with a USB stick and hoping the TV will play whatever format it's in, or using VLC and a laptop.
They don't even show you ratings for the stuff, because they want you to waste your time watching the junk tier shit they can still afford.
Eh to Netflix's credit, both their backend and frontend are much better than their competition. Much better ux, and streams much more consistently. We pick up a sub for a month here and there. But AI ads will make me never go back.
Well piracy is the only way then.

Yo ho ho (and a bottle of rum)!
What the fuck is up with that image of Wednesday?! It doesnβt look like Ortegaβs Wednesday to me. Is it ai generated?
It looks like her to me but idk
Yeah youβre right, it is her, it might be the camera angle or something or perhaps her bangs are slightly different than in the rest of the show. Something just felt off and I canβt put my finger on it.
Looks like she's got a bad toothache or a dislocated jaw.
Ahhhh, man moving away from corps just keeps on giving (or in this case, doesnβt enshitify while proprietary ones do).
