If, contrary to the confirmation by Netflix's CEO that Netflix will not screen advertisements, they then decide to do so, my subscription with that company would cease. Simples. I am sure that a huge number would do the same.

Surely, if they wanted to draw in more money from advertising, they could offer an alternative subscription free service (or maybe a reduced subscription offer) with unskippable ads. This would have the attraction of bringing on board excluded customers who cannot afford to pay current subscription prices and make more money for them. That would be acceptable. Putting on ads for a full subscription service would not be.
