According to 9 to 5 Mac, Netflix is adding a cheaper subscription plan that will include ads! But, that's not the only catch... the full catalog won't be available either! Netflix's CO-CEO Ted Sarandos says:
Today, the vast majority of what people watch on Netflix, we can include in the ad-supported tier. There’s some things that don’t and we’re in conversations with the studios on but if we launched the product today, members in the ad-tier would have a great experience. We will clear some additional content but certainly not all of it but don’t think it’s a material holdback for the business.
This new ad-supported plan is set to roll out in 2023!
