Netflix subscription with advertising is now real (but not for you)
Netflix has been working on introducing a new subscription for some time, but now the time has come. You can now take a cheaper Netflix subscription in various countries, with advertising. But the subscription is not yet available to everyone.

Netflix subscription with advertising: now available
It had been a while since Netflix wasn’t happy with the number of subscribers they had. According to the streaming service, they lost a lot of revenue because Netflix subscribers shared their login details with friends and acquaintances.
Now they have been trying to prevent you from sharing this data for some time, but not with much success. After all, it is still possible to let your aunt or uncle use your Netflix account.
That is why there is now a cheaper Netflix subscription, but with advertising. With this Netflix tries to generate more income and convince people to take their own account.
Some Netflix subscriptions are quite pricey and if you take the most expensive subscription you will lose just under 16 euros per month. That’s pretty high for a streaming service. The subscription with advertising will therefore cost 4.99 euros and will be available from November 3.
For the time being, the advertising subscription can only be taken out in Germany, Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Spain, England and America. The Netherlands is not yet on the list, but Netflix has already hinted that they want to release the subscription with advertising here next year.
When the Netflix subscription with advertising is available, you can stream videos in 720p (HD-ready). You also get to see four to five minutes of advertising every hour. These commercials each last 15 to 30 seconds. You get to see them before and during films and series.
Incidentally, not all programs are available with the cheaper subscription with advertising. This is due to licenses and specific agreements. Netflix has not yet indicated which films and series you will miss…
