Topic Reading-Vol.3844-10/20/2022

Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Netflix with ads is here. Here’s everything you need to know
Founded in 1997, Netflix has been offering streaming services for movies, dramas, and TV series to over 220 million subscribers in 190 countries for the last 15 years. With the $9.99 basic monthly subscription fee in the US, subscribers can enjoy the content without commercial interruptions. This ad-free viewing has been the core value of the streaming service along with a wide variety of content including its originally or exclusively produced movies and dramas. Now, since the number of subscribers isn’t increasing any further due to competition, inflation, and market saturation, Netflix has introduced a compromising option to entice new subscribers, called Basic with Ads. This new option will cost $6.99 a month, only $3 cheaper than the without-ads service. The subscribers of this new program will have to bear with four to five minutes ad break per hour. If you divide the $3 monthly saving by 30 days, you can save only 10 cents a day. But what if the basic service fee increased to $12.99 or $15.99? Your saving would then become substantial enough to add another subscription service so that you can watch during the ad breaks.
Enjoy reading the article and think about your subscribing options after November.
