Netflix has a plan to get you paying more for a subscription

Daily Mail  

Netflix will begin phasing out its most affordable ad-free option, the company announced Thursday. The streaming giant had already stopped accepting new customers for the Basic plan, which costs $11.99 per month, last October. Basic plan users seeking an ad-free experience on Netflix will now have two options: the Standard plan at $15.49 per month or the Premium plan that has 4K at $22.99 per month. The streaming giant had already stopped accepting new customers for the plan, which costs $11.99 per month, last October Netflix announced the same move for Canada and the UK in January - where customers are increasingly reporting they are being contacted to move plans. In October 2023, as well as axing its $9.99 basic plan, Netflix also increased its premium ad-free plan, which allows users to add two extra members from different households - from $19.99 to $22.99 a month.
