The company&#8217;s advertising was briefly discussed, with one comment reading, &#8220;Growing our advertising business represents an opportunity to add to significant new revenue and profit pools in the medium to long term.&#8221; However, as The Verge points out, Netflix will generate $1.5 billion in revenue from ads alone by the end of 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Now, we are preparing for more. This narrative becomes even more interesting when you remember (how can we forget?) that it just raised prices. In late March, the Standard plan increased from $7.99 to $8.99 with advertising. Elsewhere, the standard ad-free plan rose $2 to $19.99, while Premium (4K, spatial audio) rose $2 to $26.99. Netflix is \u200b\u200balready starting to seem a little more expensive, leading consumers to move towards more money-conscious options.<\/p>\n<div id=\"slice-container-newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-9QMxQYgXoN4ZXDwQauGcWL\" class=\"slice-container newsletter-inbodyContent-slice newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-9QMxQYgXoN4ZXDwQauGcWL slice-container-newsletterForm\">\n<div data-hydrate=\"true\" class=\"newsletter-form__wrapper newsletter-form__wrapper--inbodyContent\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__container\">\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__top-bar\"\/>\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__main-section\">\n<p class=\"newsletter-form__strapline\">Get the latest news from Android Central, your trusted partner in the world of Android<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr id=\"elk-4f303349-2ade-492c-b1e0-db616b9ac38c\"\/><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" id=\"elk-e968adf4-0338-433b-b324-c0678874fb2f\" class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"android-central-s-take-3\">Android Central&#8217;s Tech<\/h2>\n<p id=\"elk-8d8c5fe5-12c1-4d46-9566-bf2175672330\">From a consumer perspective, I find it strange that we keep seeing all these price increases even if the platform is performing well? Ad revenues were expected to account for $1.5 billion by the end of 2025, yet it&#8217;s the viewers who are stuck with the high prices. It takes anyone by surprise <em>Why<\/em>. Of course, they have said that higher prices help in providing better quality ingredients and so on. Is that still the case? Is this something that consumers will sit back and say, &#8220;You know, this makes sense.&#8221; I&#8217;m not so sure. I think we&#8217;re reaching a point where it&#8217;s too much (I mean, $27 for 4K, or even $20 for regular\/no-ads is a bit much, no?).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What you need to know Netflix announced that it plans to introduce even more advertising on its service, such as in its Clips feed and podcasts.
