Netflix is reportedly considering introducing a free, ad-supported version of its streaming service in select markets, particularly in Europe and Asia. Discussions have mentioned specific countries such as Germany and Japan. However, Netflix is not planning to offer this free plan in the United States. The move is seen as a strategy to attract more subscribers in these regions and to appeal to advertisers, who would benefit from the increased viewership on the platform. This plan is expected to include commercials for lower tier subscribers.

I’m interested to see how this plays out with advertisers, since Netflix still plans to have commercials for lower tier subscribers. Advertisers are who it is done for, not the networks themselves. https://t.co/H7YbRMJR4N
