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.

My thoughts exactly when i was watching old seasons of Canadas worst drivers
My wife and I recently started watching that. Skipping the first 6 minutes of episodes because we don't need to meet all the drivers again, skipping at every commercial break because I don't need to see what's coming up or what we just watched...
Great show, but binging seasons gets rough
