Netflix has been talking about for a while now explicitly forcing users who share their accounts to pay more. Also, a cheaper subscription option with ads was always on the table.
Now, one of the CEOs, Reed Hastings, has made it clear that these developments will happen very soon, and has begun talking about the possibility of starting ad-supported publishing “within the next year” at the latest.
