Digging into the new plan, we found out some interesting things about the basic with ads plan.
Netflix’s tier was pretty straightforward with no major surprises for the average person watching the streaming service.
Obviously, ads cannot be skipped.
The second episode had 2 minutes and 30 seconds of ads.
We found this wasn’t the case.
No matter what we were watching, the ads were the same, regardless of what you’re streaming.
The ads that played during our time with the app seemed to be travel-related more often than not.
There were a lot of typical commercials for cars, sites to book hotels and cruises.
After about 30 minutes, ads loaded up again.
And speaking of ads, certain shows and movies didn’t have any–Seinfeld being one of them.
This scenario was few and far between.
There were also movies that had an ad roll at the beginning of the movie and then no more.
Netflix’s basic with ads tier is exactly as expected, with no real huge surprises.
Everything laid out by the streaming service prior to launch is what was executed for new users.
However, bumping up yourself to the basic tier is probably the best way to go.
