AMC+ ad-supported

I've mentioned before about unknowingly been a subscriber to AMC+. Briefly, I subscribed, then forgot I had subscribed and it renewed at an annual rate. It expires in November.

Why does this matter? Well, it doesn't, not really. Except that a new plan that AMC+ is planning would save some money.

According to a report, AMC is planning a new ad-supported tier:

AMC+ is joining a long list of premium subscription streaming products that have opted to embrace advertising alongside their ad-free tiers. In the last 6 months, both Disney+ and Netflix have launched cheaper ad-supported tiers, while HBO Max launched its ad-supported tier in 2021. Among major streaming services, only Apple TV+ remains completely ad-free (though its Major League Soccer games do have sponsors).

I like the idea of ad-supported tiers being available to save money, while those that want to pay more to keep commercials away can do so.

My Streaming Life would include the ad-supported tier if it was available when I (unintentionally) subscribed. And if I do renew, it will be at the lower rate. I can deal with ads, and with saving money.
