The Q4 earnings results of Netflix are now out. After a highly unstable year, Netflix finally got some relief from its ad-supported plan. Last year it was predicted that it would be a failure as only 9% of the users signed up for the affordable ad-supported plan.
But the data this year is more refined and gives us a bigger picture of whatever happened in the final quarter. It looks as if Netflix is happy after introducing the ad-supported model. After three years, Netflix saw such a high sign-up rate on its platform. In fact, it rose as high as 58% from the usual pace.
According to a study by Ampere Foundation, 8% of customers signing up for Netflix or changing their plan have taken the ad tier. Former customers who are resubscribing (64%) with the remainder (36%) representing first-time users.
Among Netflix subs who downgraded to the ad tier, 67% were from the Basic tier, 21% stepped down from the Standard plan and only 12% came from the Premium tier.
So yes, things were much better than what was presented back in 2022. But even after all this, there is a huge change at Netflix.
Reed Hastings, the CEO, and co-founder of Netflix has stepped down from his position. Reed Hastings is now serving as the Executive Chairman of the company. Also, Ted Sarandos and Greg Peters are now Co-CEOs at the company.
We wish Netflix improves in all the departments in its new leadership.
