The arrival of HBO Max, Disney+among others, began to have an effect on the finances of Netflix that has been forced to make certain internal changes to continue leading the streaming entertainment market.
One of the most radical changes is to modify its subscription plans, where a new plan is entered where advertising becomes the protagonist on the platform after the end of a movie or series.
This plan will be formally launched by 2023 hand in hand with its new strategic partner, Microsoft, who helps the streaming platform with the technical support provided by the company to execute these changes.
leaks from various media dan a reveal how the platform intends that this new cheap plan does not translate into many people, even those who have been registered the longest, choose to cancel their current plans and opt for the entry fee, despite the announcements.
Cancel downloads on Netflix
Now new information released by Bloomberg indicates that the platform would be eliminating in this new subscription package, the download option in its version for mobile application.
“Downloads available on all plans except Netflix with ads,” according to the text of the app that was discovered by developer Steve Moser and shared with BloombergNews. The code also suggests that users won’t be able to skip ads, a common move in the streaming world, and playback controls won’t be available during ad breaks.
About this information the streaming platform has not made any comment, and it is expected that in the coming days it will confirm or not the information.
