How Netflix’s basic plan may be almost ‘dead’ now

As most users would have seen it coming, Netflix has almost ‘killed’ its basic ad-free tier. The company has removed its $9.99 “Basic” subscription tier for anybody trying to sign up for a new account or resubscribe in the US and UK. The plan was priced at $9.99 per month in the U.S. and 6.99 pounds per month in the UK. “The Basic plan is no longer available for new or rejoining members. If you are currently on the Basic plan, you can remain on this plan until you change plans or cancel your account,” the support page on Netflix reads.
