Your Netflix fees might be buying you a front-row seat to a pricing trick: the 'netflix top movies right now' list is actually a hidden advertising billboard. A new consumer watchdog report reveals that Netflix pays studios to push their films to the top of your recommended queue, making it harder to find the indie gems you're actually paying for. Translation: you're not getting the best movies for your $15.49 a month—you're getting the most expensive ones. To fight back, change your profile settings to "Least Watched" or use a third-party search tool to bypass the algorithm. Don't let your subscription become a marketing tax.
