40 million people have already signed up for Netflix with ads

It seems that people don’t hate ads so much. At least, that’s what Netflix’s new report that its ad-supported tier now has 40 million monthly active users. That’s up 5 million from a year ago. More than 40% of all registrations in countries where the ad-supported tier is available are now subscriptions to that tier.
And that’s the number of sign-ups for the ad-supported tier.

More than 70% of those who have signed up for the ad-supported plan watch more than 10 hours a month, 15% more than «its closest competitor». Netflix plans to launch its own ad-tech platform by the end of 2025, which will provide advertisers with «new ways to buy, new information to use and new ways to measure impact».
