I'd rather go by what Netflix themselves are saying rather than various websites or rumours.
However this does not mean that Netflix won't change their mind in the future as a poll was ran and viewers said they'd be fine with adverts at a much lower subscription cost.
But for the foreseeable future adverts are not in Netflix's plans.

Companies say things to attract customers - that's a natural thing to do. That doesn't mean there aren't long term plans to do something in a slightly different way once people are 'in'.
It's easy for Netflix to say they won't now - indeed it could be a selling point in a market of company A through to company Z. Once the market consolidates into company A, B, C, D, E or F it'll be a quick way to fetch a large and substantial dividend.
As I've pointed out before - these companies don't just know what you watch - they can ascertain information about your lifestyle, wider household and others than present commercial broadcasters cannot. That's far more valuable on a localised level and personal level that how many ABC1s watch Love Island.
