TOP NEWS

Netflix & chill with ads

  • Netflix unveiled its new “Basic with Ads” tier, priced at $6.99 / month. This is a $3 discount to the prior cheapest plan, and will include 4-5 minutes of ads per hour of content.
  • Netflix told shareholders in 2019 that remaining ad-free was a “deep part of our brand proposition” - so why the shift?
  • The company saw its first subscriber drop in a decade in Q2, and faces competition from both Hulu (starting at $6.99 / month) and Disney +’s ad-supported tier coming soon.

Mark in the Metaverse

  • Meta unveiled its new VR headset - the Quest Pro, a $1,500 device positioned as a laptop alternative for working professionals.
  • Mark Zuckerberg was joined in the announcement by Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, who discussed integrating Teams into Meta’s VR headsets.
