Disney is actively exploring (https://www.reddit.com/r/television/comments/1usnuhz/disney_is_exploring_adding_a_free_tier_to_disney/) a completely free, ad-supported tier for Disney+. The concept was recently discussed by the platform's product and tech chief, Adam Smith, during an internal town hall. The strategy is being considered to compete with free streaming giants like YouTube and Tubi, which continue to capture a larger share of TV viewing time. No specific timeline or details (https://www.engadget.com/2212449/disney-might-be-planning-a-free-disney-plus-tier/) regarding which shows and movies would be included have been announced. If implemented, this would set Disney+ apart from competitors like Netflix, which currently do not offer a free, ad-supported plan.
