Netflix ad-support tier will not allow users to access all of their shows, due to a number licensing issues.
The streaming platform’s partnership with Microsoft to provide ad-supported tiers at lower prices will not offer access to the Netflix’s entire library. Co-CEO and chief content officer Ted Sarandos sustained that while Netflix Originals such as Stranger Things and Umbrella Academy will be available, a number of third-party films and series will not due to licensing.
“Today, the vast majority of what people watch on Netflix, we can include in the ad-supported tier,” Sarandos said. This comes after Netflix lost close to one million subscribers as it continues to come under fire for clamping down on password sharing and increasing subscription prices.
