Netflix brings other changes, unhappy users

Every platform and social network is changing day by day. After the changes of Instagram, Whatsapp, YouTube and Snapchat now it is the turn of Netflix. According to recent reports, Netflix has taken a move that is not at all good for users. Downloading movies and series is one of the biggest pluses for users of this streaming service, but it seems that only those who choose the most expensive package will enjoy it.

Namely, Netflix is ​​preparing a cheaper package that contains ads and is expected to be available next year. According to Bloomberg, code hidden in the iPhone app indicates that Netflix does not plan to allow the download option for users with a cheaper package. The Netflix target was discovered by developer Steve Moser, who posted that code within the iPhone app contains the following text "Downloads available for all packages except Netflix with ads."

Another Netflix decision can be read from the hidden code, that users with a cheaper package will not be able to skip ads or access playback controls while ads are playing. Netflix declined to comment on the speculation, and this isn't the first move that has angered users. Netflix recently started charging for password sharing, which caused backlash from users.

We also recall that Disney will launch a new ad-supported streaming service in the US in December, an effort that outpaces Netflix in the race for paid subscribers.

The firm reported 221.1 million subscribers across its three streaming platforms in early July. This put it ahead of Netflix, which has already lost a large number of subscribers.
