Netflix recently revealed the details of its cheapest advertising plan and although this decision is greeted with uncertainty by many users, it appears to be a trend to be followed by other platforms such as Disney +. Earlier this year, The Walt Disney Company had announced the launch of a new Disney + plan for the United States, which will be about $ 3 less than the traditional plan. This will be possible thanks to the display of ads. While the company hasn't revealed great details about this new plan, it looks like it will come without two major tools from the standard service.
Disney + has announced the affordable subscription plan. The changes are few, but two surprise us. Goodbye to Groupwatch and Shareplay
The new plan of Disney + ad-supported will launch in the US on November 8, and while we don't yet know if it will feature the full catalog on the ad-free service, lots of evidence suggests this cheaper version he shouldn't have the tools Group Watch e shareplay. Steve Moser he found lines of code reflecting the lack of support for GroupWatch and SharePlay on Disney + with ads.
Those who subscribe to the cheapest plan probably they will not be able to watch content with their friends through these features. This makes perfect sense considering that ad-free subscribers will have to see the ads if they are watching with a "low-cost" subscriber. For those unfamiliar with it, the aforementioned features allow multiple users to watch content together, as long as they are all subscribers to the service.
For now we don't know yet if this will be the only change service or whether this mode will also be launched in other countries. It is worth mentioning that the advertising version of Netflix won't have the full catalog, as some movies have contracts that prevent them from being interrupted by ads while watching.
