Amazon Prime Video will soon come with ads, or a $2.99 monthly charge to dodge them::Amazon’s Prime Video will begin showing ads during shows and movies early next year.
The only reason I used prime video was because it came with prime. I’m just going to stop using it altogether if there’s ads
I’m probably just going to cancel prime. It’s only gotten worse and worse. I can wait a week for shipping
I think Prime is up to $140 a year now. They used to promise 2 day delivery, but that is now 2 day shipping, and delays prior to shipment aren’t counted. We are not renewing when it comes up later this month. It’s no longer worth it.
I like the same day delivery stuff. A lot of their catalog gets to me in a couple hours if my cart is over $25
Honestly, that’s the only thing keeping me paying for prime. Most of the shit in their catalog comes in less than a week without prime. But if I need something today, Prime is cheaper than a lot of the competing same-day delivery services.
We cancelled back in 2022. It was noticable for about a month, then we got used to buying much less and going to a store for what we needed. I feel better about buying directly from a company’s site when I need to get their product online and most places offer free shipping anyway.
Right? Or maybe watching the first part of a show until the first commercial to determine if I want to take the time to find it elsewhere.
Just cancelled my prime membership because of this, I encourage all of you to do the same.
I use prime mainly for Prime gaming, which gives me my money back.
I use it for shopping. I live in the country side, not a lot of options around here, and in a country where the concept of free shipping does not exist. So Prime saves me a lot. I barely use prime video though…
Was going to say the same. You get so much shit from Prime Gaming. Given, half of it is actual shit that you’ll never use. But if you play games on PC, it’s something worth looking into.
Hope it was worth the 0.005 cents you made per video to lose all those subscribers.
On one hand, it is quite cheap but on the other hand their catalog is very bad. I wonder how long will these streaming services survive before they go all the way through the enshittification and kill themselves.
Fuck right off. Makes me want to break shit.
I will be cancelling my subscription the first time I see an ad.
The old Microsoft approach, slowly make it shitter, then charge you (make you upgrade) to remove the shit we’ve snuck in.
So glad I didn’t renew my prime subscription this year. I could smell this turd coming from down the road.
AAAAAARRRRRRRR
May be worth the 3 bucks if the freevee stuff is ad free too then. Otherwise they can go f themselves.
