Netflix is a video streaming giant. During the confinement, we can say that the company was at its peak. On the other hand, a few months ago, Netflix lost some subscribers for the first time. Has the subscription become too expensive? In any case, a new cheaper offer will be available soon. Cheaper, of course, but in return, there will be commercials.

Netflix: a new formula for less than 10 euros
Considering inflation, and the different current economic problems, Netflix took aim on the cost. So why this new reform? As you know, one of the interests of the platform so far has been to watch its programs without being disturbed by advertisements.
Only here it is, the cost will be cheaper, but there will be advertisements. According to information obtained by Bloomberg, this new subscription would cost between 7 and 9 euros per month.
A big reduction compared to the price of the standard subscription which is 13.50 euros per month. Between 4 to 6 euros in savings once morest a few minutes of . What’s more, advertisements that are not not necessarily uninteresting.
The methods for this new offer
Note that for the time being, no official communication from Netflix has been published. That said, according to the rumors gathered by Bloomberghere are some details:
The duration of the ad
For the series, advertisements of 15 to 30 seconds would be displayed at the start and during viewing. They would make a total of 4 minutes for an hour. So in a 45 min episode, there will only be 4 commercials.

Remember that for American channels, it is 18 to 23 minutes ads per hour. This allows you to put things into perspective! It’s more to save you from hitting pause to go to the bathroom. For feature films, ads will only appear at the beginning of the video.
The frequency for the same ad
The most annoying thing regarding ads is that the same ad comes up multiple times. Surely you have already experienced this. Well, be sure that with Netflix you will have time toforget an ad before seeing her once more.
Here is the data:
- For series, one ad per hour.
- For films, three identical ads per day.
Offers for advertisers
For ad buyers, Netflix and its partner Microsoft offer the application of the cost per thousand views (CPM). The starting price would be $65 per CPM. However, this is still a negligible value.
This price varies according to the targeting viewers. Advertisers can request the 10 most viewed series of the month or choose specific genres (comedy, drama, etc.). Country targeting is also planned.
In contrast, age, gender, viewing habits or time of day would not be used as targeting criteria. At least cost additional will not be deducted for this.
To reassure advertisers, Netflix claims to be able welcome 500,000 new subscribers by the end of 2022.
