- Description: TVNewsCheck, syndicating David Wainer’s WSJ piece, reports that Netflix’s advertising ambitions hinge on viewing hours, which have stalled even as subscriber and revenue growth continue. The piece frames engagement, not sign-ups, as the real constraint on how much ad revenue Netflix can extract.
