At this point still, the new stand regarding the launch of this new subscription tier is not an official statement, hence a rumour. According to our sources, this change in launch date is the streaming company’s little effort to beat the competition to its game. Disney Plus is the competition in question, as it plans to launch a similar ad-supported streaming subscription on December 8.

Pulling the launch of this new subscription plan forward will help Netflix to attract more subscribers. At its launch which is said to take place on November 2022, Netflix will make its ad subscription offer readily available to certain regions. After some time, the company might as well roll out its ad-supported plan to more regions across the globe.

The first countries that will receive this new and cheaper subscription plan are the United States, Canada, the UK, France, and Germany. For its early stages, the company will check to see the rate of adoption of the new subscription plan in the regions above. If the result of user statistics is impressive, the streaming service provider will be ever willing to roll out this feature to other regions in the months to follow.

With the standard monthly subscription per person, users get to stream movies without any advert interruption. But with the new plan which will display adverts at intervals, users will be giving up on the experience that the standard plan offers. So, will users be willing to pay less and overlook the ads, hence making the Netflix ad-supported tier a good option?

For this coming tier, Netflix plans to introduce about 4 minutes of ads every one hour into a film or show. Not all shows will have ads, as certain ones will survive the coming onslaught of ads on Netflix. But, the big question is if this plan will attract users to the streaming platform. Another big question is if this coming plan will make existing subscribers step down their payment plan to something more affordable.
