Looks like Netflix is about to start their new tier of service with adds and others are following. But in the case of Disney+ the current prices will start seeing commercials and you would have to upgrade to an even more expense premium plan to be add free once again.

"South of the border, Disney Plus rolls out an ad-supported option later this year with some industry observers predicting it will apply the same model in Canada soon after. The ad tier will be introduced at the price of Disney’s existing commercial-free service. Subscribers who want to eliminate the ads will have to pay a premium."
It's one thing to add a lower price with adds but another to start adds on the current model and say pay more for no adds.
For Netflix;
In Canada, the “basic with ads” plan costs $5.99 per month _ less than the plans without ads, which start at $9.99 and peak at $20.99 a month.
As a trade-off for the savings, Netflix says subscribers will be presented with an average of four to five minutes of ads per hour played before and during their TV shows and films.
Video quality on the Netflix ad plan tops out at 720p, leaving full high-definition streaming at 1080p and 4K for premium subscribers. Viewers also won’t be able to download titles on their devices and not everything in the service’s library will be available.
The good news that is a lot less commercials than legacy tv which usually has as much as 20 minutes of commercials per hour.
Will you get the add plan or stay add free?
