Netflix’s ad-supported subscription tier has reached 70 million global monthly active users, showing remarkable growth within two years of its launch.
The ad-supported tier was introduced in November 2022 as a response to a slowdown in subscriber growth. It has now become profitable, with sold-out commercial inventory for NFL broadcasts.
Netflix is improving its advertising technology by enhancing audience measurement and analytics, partnering with companies like VideoAmp and Nielsen.
Starting next year, Netflix will prioritize revenue and other financial measures instead of briefing investors on membership figures, reflecting a shift towards sustainable revenue expansion.
