Cancled my prime because of this.

I don't even watch their stuff, it was just the principal of the thing. I'm not really missing prime even for shipping because it's caused me to shop less and only buy if I really really need it.

I recommend also not shopping with a company that actively blocks unionization efforts and has a nightmarish track record with climate policy.

I stopped shopping with amazon in 2012 and, yes, it takes a bit of time to find what you're looking for at a more local retailler, and it might cost a tiny bit more, but again.. Jeff Bezos man

I was watching fallout when it released, and out of 8 episodes only 4 had ads, and the ads were 30 seconds long before the episode started, and then nothing after that.

I'm not excusing them injecting ads, but at least it's not like YouTube where it's completely random

I will simply never pay + ads. Free and ads... Ok. I'll fight you if your ads are obnoxious.

But, as soon as I'm paying for a service I will never accept even a 1sec ad.

Yes, 20 years ago. Not sure what idiotic point you're trying to make.

If you can't figure out their fairly obvious point maybe they're not the "idiotic" one champ.

Just fyi, you can pay for ad free prime video. What is bundled with the rest of prime at no extra cost includes ads.

No. I had prime. Then they raised the price. I was like ok... THEN they were like we need an extra 1.99 or you'll have to watch ads on top of the prime price.

That was the end of prime for me.
