Plus, it helps with their huge financial deficit.

Not actually that new. They didn't wholly own many of their older Netflix Originals and therefore didn't have the likes of the DVD/Blu-ray rights. I saw, or had the opportunity to see, quite a few shows via likes of Lovefilm and the old Sony Channel.

Their model is crumbling and they need to monetise anything they’ve got.

Re: Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat
I think a lot of the subscriber models available UK and Eu are gonna be hit hard for the next 12 months anyway. I think Disney made a mistake adding adverts to the £7.99 package they will lose not attract customers that way. Throwing the ad package at £3.99 would have attracted customers imo. Netflix and Prime both increasing their prices in the financial climate will only push customers away. The best way would be to incentivise and offer better prices especially seeing as weaker economies get it for a fraction of what the Uk are asked to pay for example. I am ok Amazon think I am a student and Netflix think I live in Turkey so I only pay 9 quid for the 2 but even then next year I might have to consider letting my Dad pay for Netflix hahaha

I don't think ads are coming to Disney + in the UK just yet although I'm sure it will happen. It's the US where they've confirmed it's coming to the $7.99 tier.

Peacock in the US do (I know you mean Netflix plans but for an indication of what happens elsewhere).

No, it’s not a mistake. They are testing the market. Expect that price to be reduced progressively until they reach the sweet spot.
I would have preferred it had they made the streamer free with ads and restricted content, though. They might get there in the end.

Hopeless optimism. It’s lasted so well on the journey to the low cost streaming future.

And so the challenger brand becomes less distinguishable from the incumbents:
- Pay to remove advertising? Incumbents yes, Neflix yes
- Commissioned content available on other services. Incumbents yes, Netflix moving this way.
- Blend of on-demand and linear channels? Incumbents yes, linear via EPG, Netflix yes, linear via its app.
- Pricing aimed at maximising revenue not market share? Incumbents yes, Netflix yes since price uplifts.
