This term has gained significant prominence in Brazil and Portugal as streaming services like Netflix, Disney+, and local platforms have adopted tiered subscription models that include ad-supported options.

It reflects a shift in media consumption where younger audiences particularly value cost-free entertainment despite advertisements.
