The massive streaming service, Netflix, has always been iconic for the way it releases entire shows and seasons at once and how it is 100% ad-free. But will it stay that way for long?

Earlier in July, Netflix tested, for the first time ever, releasing a series in two parts, therefore dripping it. This was tested on Stranger Things, as Part One of the latest season was released earlier in the year, and Part Two was recently released earlier in July. It was a huge hit, which Netflix needed after the big blow earlier in the year when they announced that they had lost over 200,000 subscribers in just three months (Read about that in our archived article, Netflix Catastrophe). 

Now, they are also breaking their record of having no ads, but only for people who want to pay less. Netflix will soon be introducing a new tier of subscription, where the subscriber can pay less for the subscription at the expense of ad-free watching. This means that they will have two tiers of subscription: The lower-priced one with ads, and the higher-priced one with no ads, but the same content in both of them. 

But don't worry Netflix subscribers, if you have an existing subscription, you automatically stay with that subscription and any existing subscribers will keep their ad-free watching.
