How Netflix’s Cheaper Plan with Ads Affects You Right Now

Will you be purchasing Netflix’s newest tier plan?

Netflix’s dreaded ad-supported tier will be live today at 9 a.m. PT for $6.99 a month.

After what seemed like an unraveling for Netflix in a post-pandemic world, Netflix announced some major changes that it would start implementing in 2022. The first move was to eliminate password sharing, which was losing the streaming giant around 100 million subscribers.

Then, its prices went up. This move caused Netflix to lose over 200,000 subscribers, and another 700,000 when it canceled service in Russia.

Then, Netflix announced a tier with commercials back in April, with Netflix COO Greg Peters saying that advertising “is an exciting opportunity” for the streamer.

How exciting will this plan be?

The Basic with Ads plan will allow you to watch Netflix from any device with 720p HD resolution, but you will no longer be able to download or stream ad-free. The next tier up, Basic, starts at $9.99 a month and will allow you to watch ad-free as well as download your favorite TV shows and movies.
