Netflix removes the Basic ad-free plan in multiple markets

03 July 2024
Subscribers to that plan are receiving notifications that they have to switch either to the cheaper ad-supported plan or to the pricier Standard plan (or 4K, of course).

        If video service has ads it should be free.

        Paid+ads is just pure greed.

          Ahh last time i'd watch movie probably in 2015 or 2016.

              You doesn't have 4k for nothing in your login hehe 💚

                Frankly, shame on them.
                After all that cracking on sharing account and now locking more and more...
                Congrats, you'll just have customer that'll suspend or close their account.
                If only they could propose a 4K INDIVIDUAL plan ... We are in 2024, 4K is the norm, not a special feature and should'nt be for a 4 person plan if the customer live alone and/or can't share his account ... Where does it leave it ? With all the services growing and the catalog shrinking (Good bye Big Bang Theory and apparently soon The Office), customer cant keep up and pay 20 here, 25 here, 20 here for just a streaming service.
                They need to understand this..

                  I had no idea how much cheaper Netflix plans were globally....... In USA, we been paying twice as much for ads.......lol. I only get netflix because its part of TMobile deal.....way too much money......

                      And we are back at the days of cable, where we pay AND still see ads. LOL.
                      And I hate that Netflix used 4K as an additional premium. The tier should be simply based on number of users, and 4K should be standard. Why are we still watching 480p in 2024, when terrestrial broadcast have gone FHD for years?

                              This is what people who pay for all streaming content deserve for being such coonsumers.

                              Enjoy paying to watch ads

                                      Just find your movie in Google and watch free. Full HD is already good.
