It makes sense in isolated situations, like Netflix recommending content based on previous content you liked on their platform. I think it becomes creepy once that data leaves the domain where I originally generated it.

Is that really an ad though? A recommendation on the platform itself isn't an ad IMO.

It is and many get paid for it. You think those top prime picks are most viewed/best rate.. no they are picked by an editor for a variety of reasons some include clauses in deals or money spent/relationship with the studio.

That’s not how Netflix works. Netflix pays a one time fee for content to be in its platform. It’s not a pay per play deal like Spotify.

If nothing else it is an ad to coerce you into watching more shows on Netflix.

That’s definitely an ad
