With Netflix raising its ad-free tier pricing to nearly $20 this year, I finally pulled the trigger and made a change to my Netflix subscription. I was fine with ads on my account, and thus far, I haven't had much to complain about the change in experience. That is, until recently, when I was met with the words "Unavailable on an ad-supported plan due to licensing restrictions."
Apparently, if you have an ad-supported Netflix account, you do not have access to everything in the Netflix library. I only discovered that because the streamer continues to recommend these movies and shows to me, only to tell me that I can't watch them, which is about as annoying to me as when Amazon Prime does it. I'm over it, and would love for the streamer to hear me out on changing it.
