According to SET News on June 25, 2024, at 10:00 a.m., Netflix is planning to launch a 'completely free' viewing plan, similar to YouTube, where users can opt for free usage but must watch ads intermittently. Reports suggest that Netflix is actively developing this plan to target the European and Asian market, excluding the U.S. This move comes after Netflix previously experimented with a free service like Spotify in Kenya in 2021. The article also mentions Netflix's past offering of the 'Standard with Ads' plan, where users could watch content at a lower subscription cost but had to view ads for 4 to 5 minutes per hour, with a maximum video resolution of 1080p.
