Amazon cuts hundreds of jobs in Prime Video and MGM Studios::Mike Hopkins, who oversees those units, sent a note to staffers informing them of the job cuts.
If they’d have just increased the price by 2.99 I would have rolled my eyes and paid it.
But trying to navigate me to the Ad Tier so aggressively left a bad taste in my mouth and now I’ll be cancelling rather than paying the extra money or sitting through ads.
It’s going to suck, these next five years. All the streamers are going to get this aggressive trying to get you on the Ad Tier, the only Tier that matters because that’s where the real money is at.

But they introduced the fee for no ads in prime. This is just another Corp money grab. They really disgust me.

And I finally canceled. It was the final enshittification straw that broke the camel’s back.

Cancelled prime or just the video portion?

I love the Amazon prime ads I keep hearing about how you get ad-free podcasts and can listen to all your favorite podcasts ad-free. Then in the 2x speed disclaimer at the end it says some titles may have ads.
It really reaffirms my decision to never pay for Amazon prime.

The corporate price gouging and death by 1000 cuts fees have gotten out of control since the COVID era. Not just for Amazon either, though they are a very strong case in point. I am trying to do as little business as possible with these globocorps anymore.
