Netflix is shaking things up! They’re waving goodbye to their Basic plan, which used to be the go-to for many budget-conscious viewers. The decision is part of a bigger plan as Netflix adapts to the changing landscape of how we watch stuff.
You might have noticed that the Basic plan, known for its wallet-friendly price and ad-free viewing, quietly disappeared for new users.
Now, it’s on its way out for existing users too, starting with the UK and Canada.

Why the change? Well, Netflix is getting cozy with the idea of ads. Their ad-supported content is gaining traction, growing a whopping 70% every quarter. It’s so popular that 4 out of 10 new Netflix sign-ups in relevant places are choosing the ad-supported option.
So, what’s left for subscribers? Once Basic vanishes, the ad-free perks will only hang out with the Standard and Premium tiers.
Netflix is basically giving us a nudge towards more options, but with a twist.
