Netflix Removes Basic Package in Canada!

Netflix has been coming up with moves that don’t make its users very happy lately. The company recently restricted the password sharing application in certain countries and started to charge additional fees for this. Interestingly, despite this move, it was seen that the number of subscribers increased in the past weeks.

Now it turns out that the platform is working on another sad move. The platform is the cheapest membership package. basic plan raised in a country.

Users in Canada will no longer be able to access the basic plan, which is the cheapest package

Netflix has announced that its users in Canada no longer have access to the $9.99 “Basic Plan” subscription. When the Help Center of the platform in the country was examined, it was seen that only Standard and Premium were included in the ad-free subscriptions. This revealed that those who want a cheap subscription will only use the $ 6.50 advertising package.

It is stated that the platform made this move quietly this month. Those who already have the basic package can continue to subscribe for now; However, it is among the information that it will not be able to access it again in case of any cancellation. It is not yet clear whether this move will come to other countries.

Such a move may have been made to popularize the subscription with ads.

The reason behind Netflix’s removal of this subscription may be that it wants to expand its advertising system even more. In November 2022, the company launched this system, which shows 4 ads per hour, for 3-4 dollars less than the basic package in certain countries, including Canada. The fact that more subscribers to the subscription with ads than without ads may have led the company to such a move.

How much would the cheapest Netflix subscription be in Turkey if the basic package is up everywhere?

As we said before, we don’t know if the basic package will launch in markets outside of Canada. However, we can say that this move is a test and there is a possibility that the company may do something like this in other places in the near future.

Of course, if such a thing happens, the cheapest subscription in Turkey, Standard HD worth 97.99 TL turns into a package. Let’s say that the current price of the basic package is 63.99 TL. Naturally, such a development will not be welcomed by users in our country.

But as we said earlier, removing the basic package is probably the people of Netflix. want to switch to advertising system. This means that if the basic package is abolished, we can see the cheaper advertising package in Turkey. Well The basic package is unlikely to be removed until the ad subscription comes to us.. There is no information about the arrival date or price of Netflix with ads in our country; but we can estimate it to be in the 35-40 TL band.
