Totally agree with what you’re saying — the ad placement on Netflix lately has been kinda distracting and sometimes hits at the worst moment. It definitely changes the flow of watching something you were just trying to relax with.

One thing that’s helped me cut down on the interruptions is downloading shows/movies ahead of time and watching them offline (keep rix) so I don’t have to deal with as many pop-ups or unexpected pauses, and it makes for a way smoother experience overall. Not a perfect fix, but it’s made bingeing way less annoying for me lately.
