Netflix confirms to bring ad-supported tier for its platform: All you must know about it

Netflix confirms to bring ad-supported tier for its platform: All you must know about it
Full List of What’s Coming to Netflix in February:

After helping the users with new recommendations with Play Something, Netflix is now working on bringing an ad-supported tier on its platform. The brand has confirmed that the ad support is still in the company’s early plans and it will take some time to actually bring the feature to its platform formally.

After years of development and secrecy, Netflix wasted no time getting the ball rolling on its lower-priced ad-supported tier. It is expected to appear on the platform in the next six months or so. Here’s all that you should know about it.

Netflix to soon introduce ad support on its platform

This is one big piece of news coming from the popular streaming app. The platform has delivered a better experience to the users with ad-free and smooth streaming. Introducing the ads will act as a big shifter and it also shows how the competition is heating up already.

In the earnings call, Hastings said that “it would take a couple of years before the ads produced “material volume” — that is, paid off in terms of added revenue from price-sensitive subscribers”. However, it also hinted that the company was keen to launch ads sooner rather than later.

For instance, when asked if Netflix would first test ads in a few small markets at first — which is how Netflix typically tries out new products — Hastings said the company would not need to do so when it came to launching ads.

It is worth noting that Netflix has opposed introducing ads on its platforms since its inception. But now, the company is planning to introduce an ad-supported tier on its platform. According to a report by the Hollywood Reported (via Android Central), the company’s Co-CEO Ted Sarandos confirmed this while speaking at the Cannes Lions advertising festival. He also said that Netflix had left out a significant customer base who believe the streaming service is too expensive for them. Sarandos, as per the report, believes that the consumer base wouldn’t mind having ads on the platform if it means paying less money for the service.

Netflix confirms to bring ad-supported tier for its platform

While the Netflix Co-CEO didn’t share further details about the company’s upcoming plans, a separate report by The Wall Street Journal says that the company is reportedly in talks with Google and NBCUniversal to introduce ads on its platform. Reports also suggest that Roku is also in talks with a streaming giant to build an ad-included plan for the subscribers who wanted to access the platform for lesser money.

“We are still in the early days of deciding how to launch a lower-priced, ad-supported option and no decisions have been made. So this is all just speculation at this point,” a Netflix spokesperson said in a statement to Engadget.-

Notably, the reports come at a time when Netflix has reduced its workforce as it continued to struggle with sluggish subscriber growth. In two separate layoffs, the company has let go of a total of 450 employees globally so far.

What does this mean for the subscribers?

While the company hasn’t shared any details regarding the matter yet, it isn’t hard to guess that ads are coming to Netflix. But it remains to be seen if the company’s ad-included tier will be free to use, like the free tier offered by Disney+ Hotstar in India, or if it will charge significantly less amount for its subscription. It also remains to be seen how often and how long the ads will be in the videos streamed on its platform. In any case, the ad-included tier will make the service accessible to a lot of users across the globe.

Netflix new features

Netflix recently brought the double thumbs-up feature on its platform to help users organize their suggestion list. With Double thumbs up, users can easily edit their recommendation list and personalize the type of movies and series they love to watch.

It also introduced two new features for Android users. It added the Play Something option to the ones who actually don’t;t have any straight preferences while watching their content. So Netflix can show them whatever new movie or series has launched.

Another is the Fast Laughs feature where the platform will show you snippets from Netflix’s famous series and movies. These are also the short video clips as you scroll on TikTok and Instagram these days.

Twitter introduces closed captions for iOS and Android apps

Twitter introduces closed captions for iOS and Android apps

Twitter announced that it is rolling out a button to toggle captions for its video player on its iOS and Android applications. If a video has captions available, the button will be visible on the top-right corner of the video and will let users choose whether they want to see captions for the video or not quickly. Twitter was reportedly testing the feature in April, but at the time, it was only available to a limited number of iOS users.

Until now, closed captions showed up on Twitter videos on your mobile phone depending on many factors including whether you have turned it on in your phone’s accessibility settings and whether you are watching a video with your sound off. While that is still the case, you can now easily turn captions on and off when you want, similar to how the implementation works on the Twitter website.

Also Read: Twitter Circle goes available to more users: All you need to know about it

In an email interaction with The Verge, Twitter spokesperson Shaokyi Amdo said that the button will only show up on videos with captions already available and is not related to the automated caption system.

In other news, Twitter confirmed earlier this week that it is working on a built-in ‘Notes’ feature that will allow users to write long-form text on the platform instead of having to link to an article or blog that they have written externally. Currently, tweets are limited to 280 characters. The Notes feature is currently under testing and is only available in certain regions like the United States, Ghana and Canada.

Twitter is soon to expand the character limit

Notes will be a separate section in the app where Twitter users will be able to write out their long-form content into a ‘Write’ tab. This longer piece can then be embedded into a tweet later on to publish. Twitter also mentioned that a group of writers has been helping the platform test the feature by publishing Notes with other tweets, images and videos embedded into them.

Twitter is soon to expand the character limit

Have more to say on Twitter than you can fit in 280 characters? Twitter is testing a new way to let you do that, and your followers won’t have to leave the app to read it.

Twitter is testing the Notes feature for writers who want to produce longer content. So, what are Notes all about, and how do they work?

Twitter is testing the Notes feature among a small group of writers. Notes allow you to share longer content with your followers, similar to how you’d retweet or quote a tweet. The best part is that you can create and publish your notes without leaving Twitter, and readers won’t be redirected to a different platform when they open them.

This is significant because thought leaders and writers take to Twitter daily to share their expertise and advice on topics their audiences care about. Notes will allow them to do that more efficiently and organize their content better, as they will have a dedicated place for their followers to find it.

If you follow someone whose tweets you never want to miss, consider adding them to a Twitter List, so you can isolate and check their latest tweets when you want to.

Writers create notes in Twitter’s composer tool, Twitter Write. When a writer shares a note, it will appear as a Note Card, which is a preview of the Note, similar to how shared article links appear on Twitter. Unlike tweets, writers can edit their Notes after publishing them.

The card will show you the image of the Note, the writer’s handle, and the Note’s title. You’ll have to click on the card to read the Note. You can access a writer’s Notes by clicking on the Notes tab on their Twitter profile on the web platform, but only if you’re in a country where Twitter is running the test.

Ajay Kumar, CEO and Co-founder, Appventurez

From being expenditure for a company to now being the most efficient and innovative way to communicate with the target audience and sustain the business growth, digital transformation has grown exponentially, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Mobile apps, being a part of this sea change, have brought about entirely new audiences, services, products and industries. The manner in which they are becoming an essential part of business and services, apps are said to be the new business offices of today. Ajay Kumar, CEO and Co-founder, Appventurez, speaks more about the evolving trend of digital transformation, in a conversation with Ramesh Kumar Raja. Kumar also talked about the challenges being faced by the app development industry and how Appventurez is making its presence felt in India. Excerpts:

How has the app market evolved over the years, especially in India?

Fuelled by the growing demand for mobile usage, India’s app market has evolved unexpectedly and is now predicted to grow rapidly. In fact, India’s app market is expected to generate US$ 1,662.4 million in revenue in 2022 and continue to rise at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2% reaching US$ 2,364.6 million by 2026.

What are the major challenges in the app development market?

Challenges faced by the app development market are in no such particular order however; the market does face emerging challenges every now and then during the process of planning and forecasting strategies. The bottom line we stick to is anticipating and understanding the issues occurring from time to time.  In fact, businesses that plan around such emerging challenges are more likely to have a successful journey.

What’s so unique about Appventurez at a time when there are a number of companies/ platforms offering services for app/website development?

Bringing the ideas to reality, we at Appventurez develop and market the product in the right way to ensure that it reaches the target audience while offering (ASO) App Store Optimization. Nonetheless, with our expert team of mobile app developers, we offer top-notch development solutions in order to give ground to market-changing mobile app development ideas.

What kinds of solutions are most sought after in the Indian market and how Appventurez is leveraging the trends?

Indian market is focusing on digitization consistently, making way for modern technologies to replenish IT infrastructure. Starting from 5G mobility, the businesses are accelerating toward AI and machine learning, the Internet of Things (IoT), Fintech solutions, marketing automation, and Blockchain technology. These innovations provide numerous opportunities to break the complexity of the internal as well as external functions in the market.

Appventurez has surefire solutions to build business applications and provide a blended experience with these tech trends. The teams analyze the real-time opportunities to implement these solutions.

The recent COVID-19 lockdown was a blessing in disguise for companies like Appventurez as people realized the importance of the digital transformation of their businesses. How has been the experience so far for you?

No doubt, COVID-19 has induced a tech-driven ecosystem- new normalcy that is adopted by a number of businesses. Considered as the landmark year of the major digital transformation, the pandemic indisputably has turned out to be a blessing in disguise leaving businesses with a realization that digital is the new age to accelerate business. Speaking of our experience, we have enjoyed it two-sided: extending WFH to our employees while leveraging upon digital/virtual communication and welcoming new clientele to assist them in building their digital platforms.

What are your pain points in dealing with the people/clients to make them understand the whole concept of app building, as many of the old-fashioned businessmen still hesitate in giving a digital makeover to their businesses?

We always try to give a brief about app development, including process, strategies, benefits, and what outcomes it can bring to their business. And if we talk about the pain points, the only thing I observed is to make them understand the necessity of deploying mobile apps at business. As I know, no traditional business invests in an additional asset without knowing the actual perks or outcomes. And if we aren’t able to elaborate these things accordingly, then it is a challenge that should be overcome.

What are your plans for the Indian market?

Appventurez emphasizes future technologies and mobile app solutions for start-ups, small-medium businesses, and corporations. We are constantly prepared to become a trusted IT partner and provide creative solutions to these audiences. The app development industry is one of the fast-growing markets across the globe.

“We at Appventurez aim to create seamless business platforms (mobile applications) and assist our clients to become “self-reliant”. Our idea of making businesses self-sufficient and independent via offering them a technology-driven business system aligns well with ‘The Atma Nirbhar Bharat’ mission of India’s Prime Minister”

What according to you are going to be the future market trends?

While smartphones are so ubiquitous in today’s age, mobile applications are relatively still new in the market. Given the fact that there are no signs of slowing down of mobile usage, mobile app development seems to be emerging at a faster rate. In order to amalgamate mobile app development and technology, some exclusive technologies such as AI, AR, VR, and Blockchain are seen to gain traction keeping the technology source at center stage.

How do Appventurez’s plans align with ‘The Atma Nirbhar Bharat’ mission of India’s Prime Minister?

Enabling businesses to stand alone strong amidst global competition, we at Appventurez aim to create seamless business platforms (mobile applications) and assist our clients to become “self-reliant”.
