One of the biggest changes seen on streaming platforms in recent years is the introduction of ads, a change driven by the services' rethinking of strategies to attract a larger number of people, taking into account those who are more aware of the costs of the platforms.
Among one of the first platforms to announce its new, lower- priced ad-supported subscription models was Netflix , who also shared that its ad-supported subscription level currently has 15 million users , 30% of the total, as did other paid services, who greece number screening also revealed that ad-supported plans are providing more benefit per user than the original pure subscription plans.
In this regard, Alex Hole, Vice President and General Manager of Samsung Electronics Europe said: “In this (re)emerging advertising-funded era, it is clear that cost and content prevail. After a decade of ad-free streaming, it is encouraging to see how platforms are focusing on attracting the largest possible audience, catering to all budgets and satisfying all wants and needs. With the rise of TV apps, behaviour is becoming more complex within the TV, so it is important to take these growing audiences into account.”
