When does the subscription start with advertising?
Originally, Netflix had its investors start the new subscriptions for the Spring 2023 promised. Insider sources are now talking about an early start. The new subscription model in Germany, France, Great Britain, Canada and the USA should already be available on November 1, 2022 be available (source: Variety).
Costs
A final price has not yet been decided, but Netflix currently plans a price of 7 to 9 US dollars for the subscription with advertising in the USA (source: Bloomberg). For comparison: The standard subscription, which is probably the most comparable in terms of functions, currently costs 15.49 US dollars in the USA, which costs 12.99 euros in Germany.
Advertising Duration & Other Restrictions
According to the current plans, Netflix is considering about 4 minutes of advertising per hour of series. In the case of films, the advertising should run before the film is played.
Another limitation could be the lack of support for the download function for series and films. As noted by developer Steve Moser in the Netflix app code, the offline feature will probably not be accessible to users with the advertising subscription (source: Steve Moser). It seems that the streaming giant wants to prevent the ads from being bypassed in this way.
Here you can see a big comparison of which streaming providers are still bustling about on the German market:
Still content without ads?
Even if you switch to the Netflix plan with ads when it becomes available, there will likely still be some ad-free content.
Content for children should remain free of advertising – as well as new Netflix films. There will be an as yet unknown time limit for the “Netflix Original Movies”. It is not yet known how long Netflix will not show ads before their own new films (source: Bloomberg).
