Netflix’s cheapest streaming plan without ads is no longer available for new or rejoining members in the U.S. and the U.K.

Netflix Inc. has dropped its cheapest streaming plan without ads in the U.S. and U.K. in an apparent move to push consumers to sign up for its advertising-supported service.

During its earnings call in April, Netflix said the ad model generated higher overall average revenue per customer than the $15.49 monthly Standard plan.
