Maybe a dumb question but is the industry shifting towards an ad-focused streaming model but not structuring the actual programming around ad placement because they want the ads to be invasive so that more people sign up for premium?
If they wanted their ad tiers to be successful, they’d make it so the ad breaks weren’t so jarring, no? You’d think if they cared enough to tell the creatives not to make their shows too interesting as to not disrupt their doomscrolling, they could instruct the creatives to assist in making the ad-supported functionality more pleasant for the viewer.
I’ve been watching The Twilight Zone on Tubi and the network shows just work so well on there because they’re built to work that way.
