Netflix has already confirmed its plans to launch a cheaper, ad-supported plan due to its diminishing subscriber base. Besides ads as a downside, the plan is expected to come with more limitations, a recent report suggests. Here’s what to expect.
As per the code of the Netflix app (courtesy of Steve Moser), the ad-supported plan will not support offline viewing, a feature that is available for the other existing Netflix plans. This may come as a disappointment for many as many rely on the functionality to easily stream their favorite movies and shows even when the internet is erratic.
A previous report also suggested that the Netflix ad-supported plan won’t allow people to view all the movies and shows available on the platform, which comes up as yet another limitation. If this is what the upcoming Netflix plan will be made up of, I am not sure if it will really serve the purpose of getting more subscribers!
