Netflix has remained the biggest subscription streaming platform serving its customers for more than two decades. All these years, they have remained committed to strategies that do not bother the streaming experience of viewers. However, this year has been quite a nightmare for the production company as they lost many subscribers. So Netflix announced an ad plan a few months back to get things back on track.

The basic tier started on November 3, which changed the pattern of this streamer forever. While many viewers opted for this cheaper tier as the company calls it “unmissable entertainment at unbeatable value.” This plan is currently available in 12 countries, including Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Spain, the UK, and the US. People who are thinking of taking it must look at the benefits of this plan.

As per the experience of streamers, your watch time will involve four breaks of 30 to 75 seconds. For instance, if someone is watching an episode of one hour, the commercial will take a maximum of 5 minutes. However, if we compare this to Hulu, it takes 5 minutes on an episode of 22 minutes, which is way more than Netflix.
