Netflix Is Phasing Out Its Ad-Free Basic Plan, But At What Cost? - IGN The Fix: Entertainment

  • After raising its subscription prices for its premium tier last year, Netflix is now planning on getting rid of its Basic plan for subscribers entirely. The company is continuing its password sharing crackdown and doing away with its $11.99 ad-free option. That means the ad-free tier will now be limited to Standard and Premium. And as we reported with its previous price hikes, if you have the premium subscription plan, you’ll be paying $23 dollars a month in the U.S. With the lowest priced ad-free subscription plan being $12 dollars a month. Those tiers saw a $2 dollar increase from their previous monthly fees. Netflix’s move to an ad-supported subscription model might be inspired by RUclips, whose videos are laden with 2 sometimes 3 ads in a row before you get to the content you want to watch. If you don’t have an ad-blocker installed, of course. Regardless, #Netflix obviously sees the value in an ad-supported model which is likely increasing revenue for the streaming giant.

      Absolutely. Nothing more infuriating than when they ditch your series mid-binge, making you wish you just bought it that one time in the first place. The fact you can buy the whole of Breaking Bad or The X-Files permanently for £50 can actually be better value anyway than spending the same or more over that time to ‘borrow’ them for a few months.

    My best suggestion if you don’t want ads without breaking the law is to only keep your subscription active for things you want to binge watch or just watch one time. Once you have watched what you want to watch, cancel your subscription until it’s time to return to Netflix at a later date for another temporary period. Sure it might take a few more seconds. But in the long run you save money so 10 to 30 seconds for cancelling a subscription is worth it. And while it will take another 10-30 seconds to reactivate it. Over time, your bank account will thank you at the expense of the Netflix Executives who will have a lower Christmas bonus,

    Okay Blockbuster Video rental here is your come back year, where else can you rent video games, bring back brick and motor again seems like that's where we're headed back full circle. As soon as there is ads on netflix bye bye had you since the beginning Netflix but that would be the nail on the coffin really, gone. Yo make a higher price option give newer releases, that's what blockbuster did they competed to be the first to have all the newest coolest movies, instead Netflix wants to poop in a box and double the price.
