The streaming service offered up a completely different kind of mystery on January 31 when it became clear the completely free subscription tier is no longer available for Peacock’s potential new customers.
Those who are already signed up through the free tier don’t have to worry about it going away just yet, according to The Streamable.
So there’s no denying Peacock getting rid of its free tier is tied to the concept of “not giving away free content while billions of dollars in debt are knocking at the door.”
So this wasn’t coming completely out of left field, all things considered, but it may not be all bad.
