And voila! You’re done, you will no longer see any trailers between your favorite T.V. shows. Netflix has just started testing ads but it can change depending on the response of the subscribers.

“At Netflix, we conduct hundreds of tests every year so we can better understand what helps members more easily find something great to watch,” the streaming service said in a statement. “A couple of years ago, we introduced video previews to the TV experience, because we saw that it significantly cut the time members spend browsing and helped them find something they would enjoy watching even faster. Since then, we have been experimenting even more with video based on personalized recommendations for shows and movies on the service or coming shortly, and continue to learn from our members.”

“In this particular case, we are testing whether surfacing recommendations between episodes helps members discover stories they will enjoy faster. It is important to note that a member is able to skip a video preview at anytime if they are not interested,” the service added.
