Daily Blog Post from Editor Peter Sciretta:
Why Netflix Is Thinking Backwards By Considering Pre-Roll Commercials
This is my biggest issue with Hulu Plus, its the freemium model but the premium version doesn’t even allow you to bypass the paid commercials.
I think this speaks to a much larger issue with Netflix. Their content library has become too big and it’s often times hard to find exactly what you’re looking for. Sure Netflix tries its best to highlight popular content, but sometimes it takes a direct search to find an exact movie or series which doesn’t seem to be visible in the category views. And with most set-top box versions of Netflix, doing a direct search is a frustrating experience without a keyboard. Netflix is creating a lot of new content, and some of it is getting missed by most users of the service. So I can understand why they would want to do pre or post roll commercials for some of this unique programming.
And thanks for Steve for suggesting this topic on Periscope.
