So watching Netflix, or other streaming services, without ads, does have some hidden costs associated with it.
Last year, Netflix said that its average user spends two hours per day watching content.
They can get through two full hours of content, as opposed to 82 minutes of content with 36 minutes of commercials.
One of the core appeals of Netflix, compared to other streaming services like Hulu or, more specifically, traditional TV, is that users aren’t subjected to commercials.
