The question (flaw?) here is assuming that the amount subscribers will pay as a premium for this is greater than the amount advertisers would pay for the highly targeted slots that Netflix (and others) could offer.

Advertisers are ploughing something like $40bn at TV in the USA and £5bn in the UK. It’s a very big pie to knock back a slice of, especially when you can offer targeted advertising against a range of metrics that broadcast television can’t even begin to comprehend.
