Netflix‘s ad tier launched in November 2022 in a bid to keep viewers ahead of the company’s dreaded password ban.

The plan costs £4.99 / $6.99 per month with some limitations.

Ads are shown before or during most TV shows and movies, with an average of about four minutes of ads per hour.

And some shows and movies aren’t available due to licencing restrictions.

Video quality is also set to 1080p and you can only watch from two devices at once.

Netflix said the ad tier plan had reached 15million active users per month in its first year.

Amy Reinhard, Netflix’s advertising president, revealed the new 23million figure at the CES conference, according to Variety.

Apparently, over 85 per cent subscribed to the ad plan stream on the platform for two hours or more per month.
