Netflix already looks like a TV channel - Technology

In recent years, the company, led by Reed Hastings and Ted Sarandos, has become a growing figure in the entertainment world. exceeds 220 million subscribers worldwide and leads to the fact that all the main players in the industry (and not only) are trying to copy its strategy.

With the success of some and the misfortune of others, the truth is that the streaming market has become hyper-competitive and has moved from just acquiring subscribers to becoming a fight for family budgets. With so many services available and the volatile economy, it’s less and less a matter of adding and more and more of which one to keep. And Netflix has been hit hard by this, even though it’s the biggest streaming service.

  • 2021: subscriber growth has slowed down.

  • For two quarters of 2022: the platform lost subscribers for the first time.

  • Not next trimester: expects to add about 1 million subscribers.

Subscription prices went up, spending on new content dropped, but in the end, the company responsible for The Crown and Stranger Things came to the conclusion that so far rejected: ad-based model might not be that bad (let’s say advertising, given that the company is already product placement in several of its contents).

By allowing ads on the platform, Netflix can not only create an additional revenue channel, but also a modality where it can charge subscribers less. The rationale is that even with a cheaper ad-supported subscription, Netflix manages to generate more revenue per subscriber on average.

  • Name: this new service will be called “Basic with Ads” and is developed in partnership with Microsoft and will cost $6.99 per month (in the US).

  • Duration: each ad will be 15 or 30 seconds long and will appear before and during each content, averaging 4-5 minutes per hour viewed.

  • Advertisers: may not be associated with certain types of content, may not appear in new films or content for children, and will rely on the Nielsen rating service (starting 2023) to analyze the reach and impact of their advertising.

  • Users: will not be able to download series and movies for offline viewing.

The first Dacia hybrid.  "The cheapest hybrid family on the market"
