Man, Netflix has going through a very rough time this year, but this added salt to the wound.

Uh...this competition has quite literally been eating up other competition and forming a Megazord.
"With [their] powers combined" it's 1 million more subscriptions.
It is quite the feat that in the few years of activity Disney+ is currently 68 million behind Netflix.

It looks like Netflix wouldn’t afford to producing the high quality, original series and they would be forced to rely on acquired contents.

A post should be at least a 3-5 word sentence. We encourage discussions here, not tweet style posts. @Elijah Abrams @5YearsOnEastCoast, please edit your posts accordingly. Thank you.

I wasn't even aware of that on the way. Maybe Amazon'll pick it up.

Netflix's ad-supported tier launches November 3.

 

[Mandouga]

I was afraid of that: ad-supported, but we still have to pay for it...

 

[Moe]

There is no difference when you have to pay for Hulu, Peacock and Paramount+ with ads, also soon to be Disney+ as well.

Have ads won’t make content free to watch since ads revenues aren’t enough to cover on cost of productions.

There is a free version of Peacock, but with less content.

Netflix's ad-supported tier launches November 3.

Interestingly, Netflix is partnering with Nielsen to track ratings for it's ad-tier service in 2023. What's old is new again.

The streaming giant’s willingness to cut deals with the likes of Nielsen for its ad-tier launch could pave the way to evolving its business model — and relinquishing more viewership numbers.

Hmm, that seems very interesting. Nielsen is partnering with Netflix. If this goes well, will other streaming services follow that path?

Wow.....

That's sad....

And I got this gut feeling that this is a plan specifically to screw over animation and animation fans, or fans of any actually unique and good stuff as a whole.

Streaming might as well just become cable at this point, and that's moot because we already have cable.

Regardless, this doesn't look good at all.

 

[Action!]

It's interesting that Netflix is partnering with Niesen.

 

[Moe]

I’m not fan of Nielsen and I do believe that Nielsen is responsible for destroying the schedule for cable TV, also not fair to creators who worked hard to make a great contents.

I’m all for break Nielsen up and I don’t want advertisers to know about me.

I am curious just how much the ads sponsoring pull in.

Netflix hasn’t say about how many advertisers are going to sponsor yet, but I think it would be fast foods, restaurants, hotels, big pharma, basic products like Dove, stores like Walmart and Target and others - same like you saw on cable channels.

I can't find the article that talked about this but basically, that's correct. No political ads.


The ad-supported tier officially launched today in the U.S. and select countries and there are some movies and tv shows missing at the moment due to licensing restrictions:
