"Spotify Introduces $9.99 Standalone Audiobook Subscription"

Spotify introduces a new audiobook subscription tier for $9.99 a month, offering 15 free listening hours but with ads for music and podcasts, prompting criticism for providing minimal benefits compared to the $10.99 Premium plan. The new tier also lacks additional perks for readers and limits listening hours, with an option to purchase 10 extra hours for $12.99. This move has sparked anger in the publishing industry over compensation, as Spotify's payment model for audiobooks differs from traditional methods, potentially resulting in authors being paid less as readers shift from purchasing books to streaming.

Netflix's Ad Tier Surges with 15M Monthly Active Users and New Sponsorship Deals

Netflix has reached 15 million monthly active users on its ad-supported subscription tier, up from 5 million last year. The company's Basic With Ads tier grew 70% in Q3, but it has not disclosed how many of its 247 million global subscribers are on the ad tier. The introduction of advertising in 2022 was a significant shift for Netflix, which had previously resisted running ads. The move has helped the company regain subscriber growth, increase free cash flow and profits. Netflix has also announced new ad formats and title sponsorships, including partnerships with Frito-Lay and T-Mobile.
