Start? In the UK here and it has always had ads. Even on paid

No it doesn't, it runs a trailer for something else before but I've never had ads mid program

Yeah we get that in the great white north. A immediately Skippable ad for a different show on prime. That is fine by me, however ads like on so many other services will mean I cancel and Maybe setup a plex.

Only for itself. Then they added Freevee stuff which had a load of obnoxious ads in. Now they're adding that to everything, unless you pay extra.

Cancel. Amazon are a cancer.
