“Hollywood giants Disney and Paramount Skydance are exploring adding free tiers to their subscription services…” reads the report. “And Netflix co-CEO Greg Peters said in mid-July that ‘a free offering could make sense in some markets.'” Paramount’s own streamer, Paramount+, currently isn’t available on local soil, so we can put that out of our minds for the moment. Disney runs the risk of making a free, ad-supported tier too good of a deal, potentially losing out on paying customers. But it seems inevitable that Disney will at least explore the ad-supported streaming route in select markets outside the US.
