I dunno, I think it’s fine if a company wants to limit the reach of a marketing campaign for a few hours.
If someone chooses to pay Netflix more than they otherwise would so they can watch an advertisement earlier then everyone else, then that says much more about the viewer than it does about the companies involved.
