Did anyone experience this? I haven't but apparently, according to the article some people have:
FTA:
According to Cord Cutters News, some Netflix subscribers have recently reported seeing ads before and after shows.

I am old enough to remember when cable advertised itself as a great alternative to broadcast TV because you paid for it and therefore got fewer commercials. Of course now we know that isn't true.
This would be very disappointing to me if it happens, but it wouldn't surprise me either.

I spent much of the past weekend watching Netflix, and didn't see a single ad. I hope it stays that way.

I'd imagine this is strictly for the TV shows, like Hulu plus does. Movies should still be safe.

UPDATE: A Netflix spokesperson told TechCrunch Monday that the new test “ads” some subscribers have been seeing are all promos for original Netflix shows, and that the streaming service is not experimenting with introducing third-party commercials.

“Our policy around ads is unchanged,” the spokesperson explained. “We have no plans to support third-party ad units.”
