Amazon Plans Commercial Breaks for Prime Video::Amazon plans to add commercial breaks to its Prime Video service, the latest streamer to embrace advertising after previously shunning it
Showing ads should only be acceptable for free services. If I’m paying for your service, you should not be force feeding me ads.
That’s how it used to be last year, but the goal posts move every year to less value for consumers and more money to the billionaries.
Tell that to the cable networks. We all knew it was just a matter of time before streaming services got greedy, and now they’re all trying it.
I’m planning a break from Amazon Prime then
Sounds good! This’ll come with a reduction in the cost of prime, right?
For sure, it’ll happen just after I get my refund for the lack of new content due to the writer’s strike. Any day now.
implied Anakin & Padme meme 😆
No same price the will charge a extra for ad free
I just canceled my prime membership
I told my girlfriend just now that we are cancelling… She was fine with it.
Bye prime.
Good, already canceled last week. Let it burn.
I wish the warehouse workers would get a break…
Whats the shipping times for non prime?
Legitimately not any slower if you live in an area with a warehouse.
I did prime for a bit, the ONLY thing I liked was not having a minium purchase. But everything is so expensive these days that’s $35 minimum purchase is in no way hard for free shipping.
Like 3 days, lol
Poor Amazon just can’t make ends meet

If they add that when I’m already paying for prime they can keep it, I won’t renew.

Same. I’m not even sure why I have it now. Shipping is atrocious even though I’m less than 5 miles from a distribution center. I barely buy from them anymore since I don’t know if I’m going to get a used returned item or not.
