This news prompted the company to come up with new ways to make revenue, and that was potentially to introduce adverts.
This has now been confirmed, with the company saying that their cheapest package will have a slight drop in price but will include adverts.
One of the main drawbacks to this package is that some pieces of content will be unavailable due to the cost of licensing them.
