Netflix ends free trials in US
Netflix
will no longer offer a free trial to potential customers in the United States.
The
streaming service has been phasing out the option since the start of the month
and will replace it with alternatives to attract subscribers, including sharing
educational content on YouTube for free.
Recently,
Netflix launched a portal where a limited number of episodes from some of its
top series could be viewed for free.
Netflix
has more than 150 million subscribers and has chosen to take the step at a time
when other services are using free trials to build their bases.
Apple
TV Plus, which launched late last year, has announced it will extend its free
trial by three months, ending in February 2021.
