How many ads do you really see when watching Netflix?

The world’s largest streaming service has a comfortingly consistent ad experience across its library.
In a lot of ways, Netflix still represents some of the most foundational promises of streaming. Those promises included a much cheaper price than cable or satellite plans, and the ability to stream the TV shows and movies you loved most without having to sit through commercials.
