Ah yes, because derivative reality shows and bottom-of-the-barrel adult cartoons are so expensive to produce.
What the hell happened, you used to be good.
Just cancelled, haven't touched NF since I subbed to HBO (and even that is getting cancelled next month). Maybe its time to try Hulu.
Hulu will still show ads for some things, even if you pay extra for ad free. Pisses me off, they're a terrible company. They'll never get another dime from me.
They used to do that for a handful of shows due to streaming contracts, but last time I checked (~2019) it was literally two shows. Is it more now?
To me, it seemed to be any show that also showed on live TV stations or something? I didn't know the exact reasons, but it did seem to happen with things affiliated with certain TV stations. But the fact that they do/have done it at all is enough to turn me off.
Edit: I haven't been subscribed since probably 2021, so I have no idea how it is now.
