That is a textbook case of the straw man.

You seem to be speculating a lot in favour of your own preferred outcome. You don’t want ads on Netflix, but you’re ignoring how lucrative a revenue stream it will be for a company substantially in debt. The vast majority of people tolerate ads on subscription services as it stands - there’s no reason to expect long term delivery over the internet to be any different.
I know I said that, but you misrepresented what I said.

If you really believe that most people don't mind unskippable ads on their on demand services, I think you are in an extreme minority in believing that.

Have you noticed when you go to the cinema how many people turn up late to avoid the commercials?
