It’s an open secret that streaming video platforms are preparing new subscriptions to make a profit. These, among other things, will have a promotion that did not exist until now. Netflix It is one of the companies that is almost certain to take this step, and now what its price may be has been leaked. And the truth is, there are no big surprises—so that’s exactly what was expected.
What VOD services will do is, among other things, put plans at a cheaper price that include: ads (It can be before and after each content, or even right in the middle… how that will come is still to be seen, with a maximum of four minutes total per series or movie). The thing is, to attract new customersThe idea is that they can access platforms at a stunning cost… but they won’t be outrageously cheap.
Price to access Netflix with ads

So we’re talking about a cost, including ads, similar to what Disney+ is expected to offer on its own. This means that it will be significantly cheaper than what is currently paid for Netflix’s cheapest entry subscription in the US ($9.99).
And how can this be translated Spain?

With ads and the quality restriction that the image quality will have, and as long as some content cannot be downloaded (which is to be expected at least), there is a very good possibility.
When will this plan come to the platform?
If the known dates are met, the normal thing is that the new option is available. end of the same year 2022. So there isn’t much left to be able to access some of the many content Netflix has for less. Of course, with ads… it might not be exactly a problem for many (especially the elderly who aren’t used to advertising). We’ll see if this has the effect the platform wants. existing subscribers decide to use this new plan -Release what you are currently using.
The truth is, platforms need to increase their revenue to be profitable, that’s clear. But the point is that if you do this (especially when it comes to Netflix), you have to maintain and increase it. content quality currently offered. Some are pretty fair in this department, and that’s really one reason why more than one person might consider switching services in the short term.
