Netflix is bringing everyone a chance to subscribe to the platform with a cheaper fee via its upcoming ad-tier subscription. It would not necessarily take away all the "premium" experience with the platform. New reports say that some upcoming Netflix Originals and Kids content will have uninterrupted streaming for different movies and series.

According to a report by Bloomberg, Netflix plans to bring uninterrupted streaming for its original content that will arrive on the platform in the future, even for its ad-tier subscriptions. Initial thoughts on the ad-supported plan would have all videos and content on Netflix play ads, as it is a way for them to pay less for the service.

However, this new development for Netflix will give a significant highlight for its original content that will still have the uninterrupted streaming experience that the company promised before.

It is important to note that this uninterrupted content for the ad-tier subscription will only stay ad-free for a limited time since its release. Its longer remains on the platform may feature ads for the user once revisiting it or watching the movie or series for the first time, after several weeks or months since its release.

Several Netflix Original Movies and Series Will Not Play Ads

According to The Verge, Netflix is doing something like what Disney+ will bring for its ad-supported subscription that is also more affordable in its monthly fees. Apart from the Netflix Originals seeing a temporary ad-free experience, the Netflix Kids experience will also have no advertisements to pop out anytime, despite paying for the cheaper subscription.

Ad-Tier Subscription for Streaming Platforms

Different platforms focus on giving the world more than what they pay, with some promising a more affordable subscription that focuses on ad placements on their experience. However, the shows they watch would not have any significant advertisements playing on them, as reports claim that it will not take a massive time for their streaming experience.

One example would be Netflix's streaming experience, which initially talked about the Kids' platform or account that would not have ads, says insider claims. This ad-free Kids' platform is, despite paying for the new tier that is cheaper and more affordable for all.

Netflix is taking a page from Disney+'s previous announcement of an ad-supported platform that will bring a subscription that would insert ads in their stream but pay less for the service.

Different companies are already looking into its ad-tier platform despite their initial promise of uninterrupted and ad-free streaming via the subscription setup. It is a way for Netflix to offer a service for different users who do not mind several seconds or minutes of ad placements in their stream, which would compensate for its cheaper monthly fees.
