Netflix is going to offer a cheaper subscription with advertising. Besides the advertising, there is another big disadvantage with this subscription, because some of your favorite movies and series will not be available. iPhoned tells what exactly is going on.
Netflix with advertising: number of films and series not available
That the cheaper Netflix subscription (with advertising) will come is one thing that is certain. But the advertising isn’t the only drawback with this version of Netflix. You will also miss some movies and series.
Netflix Originals
This has to do with the licensing deals that the company has concluded for films that do not fall under the ‘Netflix Originals’ label. Netflix Originals are not only movies and series made by Netflix, but also content that can be seen exclusively with the streaming service. For example, think of series like Stranger Things and Squid Game or movies like The Adam Project and The Sea Beast.
So you will definitely go for these Originals not missing on the Netflix subscription with advertising. The problem is mainly in the films that are licensed on Netflix. You should think about this, among other things: Ghostbusters: Afterlife or rango. Netflix has to renegotiate the films and series with some of these publishers.
Netflix itself says that most films and series are present in the subscription with advertising. It is not yet known which films and series will not make the switch to the cheaper subscription.
Netflix too expensive
So if you want to see all the movies and series from Netflix, you have to take one of the more expensive subscriptions. Of course, in this case you can always decide to switch to, for example, Disney Plus or HBO Max if you find Netflix too expensive.
Netflix with advertising
The arrival of a cheaper Netflix subscription with advertising is not very surprising. The streaming service has not been doing so well for some time. Netflix’s subscriber base has fallen for the second quarter in a row. In total, this is a loss of almost 1 million subscribers. Never before has the company lost so many subscribers. According to the company, this is because too many people are sharing their accounts – which is obviously not the intention.
