Disney+ Cuts Subscription Fee - With A Catch
The new tier will be much cheaper and will offer you all the programming - but you'll have to sit through commercials.
It will be $3.92/month for a three year term - but only in the U.S. A similar deal with an as yet unconfirmed price won't come to Canada until 2023.
Disney+ to Offer Ad-Supported Subscription Plan at Lower Price

Re: Disney+ Cuts Subscription Fee - With A Catch
What's particularly strange about this is streaming shows don't really account for commercial breaks. The entire writing process is different when you need to give your audience a reason to stick through ads. So I wonder if the commercials will just be very abrupt or if their new programming will leave space for commercials.

No space for ads, except for some old series that already had them. That means abrupt stops - just like on youtube.

I was thinking differently, that maybe Disney already has made for TV versions ready to go, but instead of airing on regular television, the content will air on the ad version.

That's what other services do. Most shows still conform to the TV format because not all international markets have streaming services.
