Amazon To Start Running Ads In Prime Video Series & Movies, Will Launch Ad-Free Tier For Extra Fee

  I’m surprised this didn’t happen sooner.

  A year of prime is about the same, or less, than every other ad free streaming service and prime video is only one of its benefits.

  “Commercials in movies and series will be introduced in the U.S., UK, Germany, and Canada in early 2024, followed by France, Italy, Spain, Mexico, and Australia later in the year.”

  So rest of the world is safe from this at least until 2025?

  I'd like to cancel my Amazon subscription but unfortunately, my entire family is using it to buy stuff off Amazon.

  This is one of the reasons I say no to DRM

  Just cancelled my prime membership. The movie offer was rather boring tbh, and I get more interesting series elsewhere.

  I wonder what their reason for cable-cutting will be now.

    Where do I find this stuff on telegram?

      There are some telegram bots and channels. But those can’t be shared here because of piracy reasons. Try searching in search engines, you may get few.

  If you want a free version with ads they have Freevee. I mean, they don’t have the same shows but it’s free.

  I still dont understand the need of people who watch tv series. How fucking empty and boring must their lives be.

    I can’t speak for anyone else, but yes, mine is.

    I’ve never had Prime though. The reason my life is boring and empty, is (I think) because I avoid participating in things I don’t wholeheartedly approve of.

    Viewing media, is an insidiously passive form of participation, so I do intently watch plenty of TV\movies (recently figured out it’s about 6-8 things a week).

    The rest of my life is just household chores, bicycling, & traveling when I get the chance. Doing Things makes me feel like Ged.

      The first step is realizing its a problem. Dont let TV take care of your life brother.

  I think a downloader will be neccessaire, it will cost too much money if we bought them all.

  The combination of all these streaming services won’t be cheap. I’ve just used a video downloader to optimise my subscription before I cancel my prime. (As long as I don’t share it with others.)

  Now Amazon Prime are charging me more for the same old videos content? I ain’t gonna pay extra for mediocre movies and shows and I’ve already got a decent tool to watch the videos offline. They better come up with something mind-blowing if they wanna see my coins.
