[–] shmanio@lemmy.world 6 points 3 years ago (3 children) Subscribers can expect to see an average of 4 minutes of ads an hour at around 15 to 30 seconds each Isn't this a lot? I can't imagine watching a movie and being interrupted every 5 minutes by an ad. Do they clump them together and play 8 minutes of ads between the two halves of a two hour movie? permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] johnthedoe@lemmy.ml 9 points 3 years ago Back in the day sitcoms are 21minutes so around 8-9 minutes if ads in half an hour. 4 minutes is probably tolerable to some. But this is still a paid tier of Netflix right? permalink fedilink source parent [–] moobythegoldensock@geddit.social 7 points 3 years ago Cable tv used to do 42 minute shows with 18 minutes of ads. It probably still does, but it used to, too. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Hunter2@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 3 years ago It's probably 1 or 2 minutes of ads every 20 minutes. permalink fedilink source parent
