A source informed Business Insider that Adam Smith, who works as director of product and technology at the company, mentioned the idea of a free streaming plan during the general meeting held on Thursday (9th).
Currently, there are no defined details about which titles, whether movies or series, would be included in this supposed free plan, nor what the launch date would be for Disney. However, Business Insider points out that this initiative is part of ongoing conversations focused on finding better ways to please fans.
Given the strong presence of YouTube in viewers' screen time, streaming services like Disney+, Netflix, and HBO Max are constantly seeking new strategies to attract and retain public attention. Disney+ has already implemented features such as vertical video feeds and always-on channels, a functionality that Netflix is also reportedly considering adopting.
