The number of streaming services available for a monthly subscription, like Netflix and Disney+, continues to rise. Nowadays, many of us can hardly keep track of how much we spend on these services.

However, this situation has a negative economic impact on consumers. The growing competition and the need to save money are pushing users to make cuts, leading to some platforms losing subscribers.

The most affected by this trend is undoubtedly Netflix. Despite nearly a decade of continuous growth, Netflix has been unable to halt the recent decline in its user base.

In the past, the platform attempted to curb this by eliminating account sharing. Now, Netflix is working on a completely free package to attract users. Here are the details…

Free Netflix with Ads? Only Certain Viewers Might Benefit

Netflix aims to regain users lost due to rising subscription fees. Among the company’s plans is a completely free, ad-supported package. Interestingly, this package will not be available to everyone.

Netflix will offer its ad-supported free package to users in Asia and Europe instead of the U.S. This is not the first time the platform has attempted such an initiative. Despite positive outcomes from similar previous trials, the company did not continue with the projects.

Most recently, Netflix introduced an ad-supported plan called “Standard with Ads.” This plan was launched in July 2023, coinciding with the removal of the cheapest ad-free plan. However, this change resulted only in negative feedback.

However, a completely free ad-supported plan might be the solution the company is looking for. As you may know, the quality of content on the platform has been “questionable” for some time. Therefore, many people believe that the platform’s pricing is not justified.
