Netflix Is Dumping Its Cheapest Plan
Big news for Netflix users! The streaming giant has bid farewell to its “Basic” plan, which was the $9.99 ad-free tier. Hold up, though! If you’re already subscribed to this plan, you’re in luck because you get to keep it. However, for those who were considering this option, I have some bummer news: new subscribers won’t have the “Basic” plan as an option anymore.
Netflix Will Offer Three Options
There’s the $6.99 “Standard with Ads” plan, the $15.49 “Standard” plan, and the $19.99 “Premium” plan. You’ll still have plenty of great content to watch, but it’s essential to pick the plan that suits your streaming needs best.
In other Netflix news, they’ve been flexing their streaming muscles big time, gaining a staggering six million new subscribers in the second quarter of this year. This growth spurt happened despite Netflix’s crackdown on password sharing. So, they’ve definitely got us hooked with their fantastic shows and movies.
As Netflix continues to evolve and adapt, we’ll keep our eyes peeled for what they have in store next. For now, whether you’re a seasoned subscriber or a new streamer, enjoy your favorite shows and movies on this ever-evolving platform.
Price changes and increases in various services have become quite common these days. Just like we discussed with Peacock, many companies are reassessing their pricing structures. We often see adjustments to prices due to various factors like inflation, demand, production costs, and competition.
The cynic in me also wonders if CEO’s are just trying to make up for any possible losses from the current writer’s strike. If that’s the case, it’s a shame that consumers will be fitting the bill. As consumers, it’s essential to keep an eye out for these changes and make informed decisions based on our needs and budget. Staying informed and exploring different options can help us find the best value for our money.
Happy streaming!
