Bold move for a platform with nothing to watch.
As long as pedons pays it doesn’t really matter
This is why I usenet.
Get a billion dollars from WWE
Raise prices on everyone
Included First Hike on Ad-Supported Tier
Is it ad-supported or is it subscription supported? Because it can’t be both.
What would you call regular TV packages?
You pay for it, and you get ads
It is both. How did they get a billion for wwe? Surely tey pay for the rights?
You’d think this doesn’t work but it does
Netflix has done the math. They know they will make up the difference.
Didn’t… didn’t they just do this?
Man, ad free is gonna get fucking expensive over time. I can already see how they will weight the ad tier at “just $9.99” at some point when ad free 4k is $31.99 or something crazy.
People will remain subscribed because a $2 increase every few months doesn’t feel as bad as a $30 increase in one go.
Frogs in boiling water and all that…
“The ad-free tier. Look man, don’t even ask about cost. This is one of those situations where if you have to ask, you can’t afford it.”
Was taught that if someone asks the price, they’re concerned with wanting to pay it.
I find the paid with ads tier so confusing. Kind of defeats the purpose of paying.
55% of new Netflix signups between Oct-Dec 2024 were for the ads tier though.
It’s not confusing when you learn that it’s literally the most profitable tier for Netflix. They make more per user from ad-subsidized subscriptions than they do from the ad-free subs.
All they have to do is the dance of “how much can we charge for subs and how many ads can we show before people stop paying for this tier?”
@overload @return2ozma we periodically sign up for it when my kids remember something on there they like watching. The children’s accounts don’t show ads.
Huh, that’s an interesting workaround.
@overload I mean it’s only really a workaround if you really like watching Dinosaur Train…
Hahaha true. I’m not really there yet where they’re requesting but we usually go with Play School or Bluey with our toddler. Fortunately ABC iView has both and is free with barely any ads.
