Amazon Prime Video: Ads for TV & Movies to start early 2024; Ad-free service an extra $2.99 US/month

Already cancelled Disney+ after their hike, looks like prime may be next.

If it's anything like the already existing free with ads stuff on prime, it's going to be a lot of fucking ads, too. Like every 3 minutes. Awful.

I never use Prime Entertainment. I won't cancel Prime cause I literally get 100 of packages monthly from them! This is terrible for those that use their APP though.

I already canceled my Disney Plus a year ago and recently Netflix after 15 years or so.

I hate that I can't separate Prime shipping from Prime Video. I don't about Prime Video but continue to get raised prices for my subscription to cover the costs of their show budgets.

The streaming landscape is a steaming pile these days. All I have is YouTube Premium now. I used to subscribe to every major video streaming service. (Edit: I guess technically I have Prime Video, but I never think about it or go to it)

Blu-rays are free at the public library, I really can't hang with streaming and subscription nonsense much longer.

I like Amazon Prime Video because they have tons of great, bad 80s and 90s movies that I find fun to watch. They also have a handful of originals I like. I'm not paying $3/mo for those ocassional good ones though. This seems like it's to support their LOTR and similar follies which I'm not interested in.

And yet again I wish there was a way I could just pay for the shipping only and get rid of their bullshit video service I never use.

Click to shrink...

That is where I am at on this. Give us some sort of tiers and, at least, the illusion of choice.

I'll not pay them more, and still be able to watch ad-free, so I'll use that option. Fuuuuuck theeeem.

EDIT: Cancelled.

God, fuck Prime. I'm out. Stop stacking on the extra bullsit and keep the price reasonable.
