Netflix Eyes $7-to-$9 Price for Its New Ad-Supported Plan
Netflix Inc. is considering pricing its new advertising-supported tier at $7 to $9 a month, half as much as its current, most-popular plan, which costs $15.49 monthly with no commercials.
Netflix plans to sell about four minutes of commercials per hour for the ad-supported service, far less than most of its peers, according to people familiar with the company’s plans. The company will show advertisements before and during some programs, but not after.
Netflix plans to introduce its new cheaper option during the final three months of the year in at least a half dozen markets.

| |

Let’s unpack the results and dig into the contributing factors.

One image was even allegedly changed without the original artist knowing. In the artwork, Jorge Molina, a freelance illustrator for DC Comics and Marvel, created a cover featuring Green Lantern holding a Mexican flag in one hand and a lantern in the other. Apparently, someone from DC Comics decided to replace the lantern with a bag of tamales.

Gen Z Calls it 'Quiet Quitting.' Millennials Call it Setting Boundaries. Gen X Calls it 'Slacking off.' 3 Generations Unpack the Buzzy Workplace Trend.
| |
Many of us have recently become familiar with the phrase "quiet quitting" — though not necessarily with the history of easing up on the pedal at work.
Quiet quitting isn't exactly new; it's been around, under different names, for generations. Gen Xers might have called it "slacking off" or "coasting," while millennials might have said it was "having boundaries."
But today's phenomenon feels somehow different. It comes amid a pandemic, social unrest, and economic turmoil. It also comes amid record quits levels as workers demand more from their jobs — money, flexibility, autonomy, or the ability to work remotely.
