From CNET: Netflix has introduced a new type of extra member account: extra members with ads.
The streamer announced the new offering in a shareholder letter on Tuesday before its fourth-quarter earnings call. In the US, according to Netflix's help site, adding an extra member with ads costs $7 per month, and the option is available alongside the pre-existing extra member accounts that do not have ads.
Per Netflix's site, these extra member accounts work similarly to the previous version as a way to pay more for an additional person located in a different household. You'll need an ad-free type of Netflix -- either Standard or Premium -- to purchase an extra member slot. Netflix Premium subscribers can add up to two slots, and Standard customers get one. Extra members have a separate account and password.
Netflix also announced price increases on Tuesday. Now, the ad-based extra member version costs $1 per month less than the Standard with Ads plan and $2 less than an ad-free extra member account.
