Netflix would have hidden a subscription optionto motivate the number of users in your profile with ads, given the urgency you have to increase the number of users you register in it.
projections made by Statesman exclusively for subscribers to their platform, they measured revenues in the industry of just over 88 billion dollars.

Netflix’s Hidden Fee
After not reaching the audience goal within your plan with , Netflix it would have hidden a fee from its subscription plan to apparently force new users to choose between said plan of 99 pesos and the standard one of more than 200 pesos.
If we look at the user experience just entering the platform, Netflix invites you to select the ideal plan and only shows three subscription options. The one that includes ads for 99 pesos, standard, for 2019 pesos and Premium299 pesos, whose cost rises for offering videos in resolution 4K+HDR.

This model seems to be promoted by the platforms, following the lousy results it obtained at its launch, for which the money has had to be returned to the brands, due to the ads not being shown, although it is said, not all have claimed their money for the model that is expected to improve this year.
