    I watched something on Netflix the other day.

    It immediately then showed an ad for that same movie I’d just watched, telling me the last day to watch is in a few days.

      The other day my spouse was trying to watch a movie on prime I think it was, it started by playing an advertisement for the movie she chose to watch. I told her a copy was on the jellyfin server. She said I pay for this so I want to use it. It hit a 2 min 40 second ad break a little later and I saw her glare at me out of the corner of my eye, I chose to pretend to watch the commercial and not look at her, didn’t want that conversation.
