Netflix, once a pioneer of ad-free viewing that offered a break from traditional TV norms, is now contemplating launching free ad-supported versions of its service in markets like Europe and Asia, Bloomberg reported.

The plans to offer a free ad-supported tier, albeit in select markets, suggests that pivot towards monetizing user data, in other words — making users and not the extensive library of award-winning shows a product, might be well in the pipeline.

    I wish they wouldn’t do that. If i have to hear about Southern New Hampshire University again I’m gonna hurt somebody.

    If I agree to free thing and have to watch ads, aight fine.

    But at least make them different man, i hate that they play the same one over and over again. It does not make me want to buy your product.
