I think I might cancel. I'm not watching ads and I'm not going to pay the extra $3/mo to opt out. I don't know if I'd end up paying more than the subscription cost in shipping though....

This is such a weird way of announcing/implementing a $3/month increase for Prime video by Amazon, and a lot more destructive PR-wise too.

Right? For how much companies seem to love bubblewrapping anything they do in PR, they sure do suck at it sometimes...

Lol needlessly downgrading all the customers instead of increasing their price. Can we just make subscriptions track inflation metrics so I at least know how fucked I am on average?

Lemmy needs a DataIsBeautiful community, they’d make that graph.

Right? If it just went up a bit I wouldn't have blinked an eye. Ads on something I (technically my dear husband) already pay for just pisses me off. It feels like they're holding ad-free viewing hostage
