After Netflix reported losing subscribers for the first time in over a decade<\/a> last quarter, the company\u2019s Q2 earnings report<\/a> revealed the number of worldwide subscribers dipped by 1 million, including a drop of 1.28 million in the US and Canada alone between the end of March and the end of June. That\u2019s better than its projection of losing 2 million worldwide, but the subscriber shortfall in the US and Canada is double the 600,000 drop it reported for Q1. Netflix now reports it has 73.28 million paid subscribers in the US and Canada and 220.67 million worldwide. <\/p>\n

This comes nearly a week after Netflix announced a partnership with Microsoft<\/a> on its cheaper ad-supported tier that it expects to launch by early next year. In the letter, Netflix emphasizes that its current plans will remain ad-free. Netflix execs remain optimistic about the prospect of an ad-supported tier, noting that \u201cover the long run, we think advertising can enable substantial incremental membership (through lower prices) and profit growth (through ad revenues).\u201d <\/p>\n

The plan is to roll it out in the markets where advertisers spend the most money first. The Netflix executives write, \u201cOur hope is to create a better-than-linear-TV advertisement model that\u2019s more seamless and relevant for consumers, and more effective for our advertising partners.\u201d However, not all of its content will be available on its ad-supported plans due to content licensing agreements. During an earnings call<\/a>, Ted Sarandos, Netflix\u2019s co-CEO and chief content officer stated that the company \u201cwill clear some content, but certainly not all of it\u201d by the time the new tier launches. <\/p>\n

Netflix adds that viewing time has increased as well. It points to a study done by research firm Nielsen that found Netflix\u2019s share of US TV viewing rose to an all-time high of 7.7 percent in June 2022 when compared to 6.6 percent last June.<\/p>\n

Revenue increased 9 percent year over year from $7.3 billion in 2021<\/a> to $7.97 billion this quarter. Although the streamer ran into a couple of hiccups in recent months, including two<\/a> separate layoffs<\/a> affecting hundreds of workers, there was some good news. The season 4 release of Stranger Things<\/em><\/a> boosted the series to the second most-watched show on the service<\/a>, trailing behind the Korean-language hit Squid Game<\/em><\/a>, which Netflix announced in June<\/a> will be returning for a second season. Netflix\u2019s earnings report also revealed the company\u2019s plans to acquire Animal Logic<\/a>, the animation studio behind The Lego Movie<\/em>.<\/p>\n
