People will have to pay for the resolutions with the ads because the prices are also split based on the resolution. In 2022, 1080p has become the basic resolution for watching series and movies for which Netflix will charge the modest sum of $15.49! People took to Twitter and asked Netflix if they should watch ads in a movie/series they paid for.
Why should I pay to watch movies with ads.
Might as well watch free movies and shows on a piracy website— Yomas (@BackFromQuantum) November 3, 2022

Since the OTT meta, piracy rates have dropped dramatically because in the early 2000s, people had no choice but movie theaters, piracy, or CDs. Following the meta transition to OTT apps, people have been able to watch entertainment from the comfort of their homes. With a level of ad support, the experience is sure to be ruined. Spotify was one of the first companies to do this, but they offer free listening with ads compared to Netflix’s $6.99 with ads.
Disney recently announced that it will also launch an ad-supported level which will be released in 2023. There have been no other price shakes for the same.
