After four months of availability, Netflix’s ad tier has reportedly hit a notable milestone: 1 million subscribers. The company also has supposedly met its goals for deliveries to advertisers that are supporting this new option for the streaming service.

Bloomberg added that the ad tier isn’t cannibalizing previous Netflix subscribers. In other words, customers aren’t downgrading to the cheaper option; instead, new and returning members are opting for the ad tier. In fact, the report points out that supposedly 20 percent of new signups are picking Netflix with ads.
