Is there a plugin for Stremio that provides a kid's profile function? That's the only thing keeping me from canceling my Netflix subscription.

Canceled two years ago. Not coming back.
Netflix was canceled even before twitter. It was nice until 3-4 years ago, when the quality of their service started to fall.
Quit netflix ages ago, but is add blocking not going to work here? I addblock on hulu no problem.
Speaking of Hulu, does anyone know a way to get Hulu working on OSMC or other media player. Netflix works via API and keys.... I can't get other streamers on there correctly which pisses me off to to end.
Annnnnnnnnnnnnd it’s gone
I'm not familiar with how Netflix's ad tier works and am almost afraid to ask, but could someone ELI5?
If a company wanted to push an ad on Netflix, wouldn't it be up to them to decide whether to use AI make the thing? Or is this sort of the equivalent of a small business sending a script to the local radio station to have the DJ read it (i.e. rather than producing their own ad), except they add some AI-generated visuals?

Cool. Won't affect me, but good to know.
Hate to see it but... it makes sense.
It's wrong, sure, in many ways (privacy, ecology, ethically depending on the dataset) but if there is 1 application where generative AI ads would make sense is through a personalized stream. So... yes it's bad, consumers might reject it, but it's not the actually dumbest way to use a terrible technology.
To be clear, again, I 100% hate it but if I was a greedy Netflix stakeholder I'd think "Hmmm yes, maybe!".
