Casting support is still available on older Chromecast devices or TVs that support Google Cast natively, according to Netflix’s support page, but only for subscribers on pricier ad-free plans, which start from $17.99 per month. Netflix users with an ad-supported subscription ($7.99 per month) will be unable to cast from their phones even if they own legacy Chromecast devices.

Scummy

It costs them more to add config to disable on different plans. So dumb.

But how much does it earn them back? Pennies? Doesn't matter, it's worth it to them. Even if USA is ending production and Canada stopped years ago.
