Prime Video is getting ads.

[Remote]

Just got an email that starting January 29, 2024 Prime Video is going to include ads.

For an additional $2.99 a month you can get the ad-free experience.

How much longer before we make it full circle to cable TV packages?

I'll just Pay the $3 when shyt I want to watch is showing I guess.


Depends how bad the ads are

Some dudes on this site swore up and down that we wouldn’t go back to the cable model again, yet we’re essentially already there

The only thing that really hasn’t kicked in yet and it’s coming is those steamers going full throttle in trying to lock in customers long term a la cable.

DNS blackhole...........all ads blocked.........they won't win

 

[TheGreatMTB]

that's wild considering prime video isn't even really that good. Most of the good stuff on there you gotta buy or rent

If you're still paying for Prime they've already won

I don't pay for prime for entertainment, it's a shared account for the shipping. Have managed to accumulate a fat stack of digital cash for accepting alternate delivery dates

 

[O.T.I.S.]

I thought they already had ads for their other shows

Gonna bush it if unskippable immediately like Youtube trying to get you to watch 1 minute ads

I understand it on free shyt. If you’re paying then i don’t see the point of trying to put in ads other than greed

These companies are taking the piss at this point. Spotify do this shyt too. Unskippable ads on podcasts even if you have premium

 

[Fill Collins]

I just read books, pirate movies and listen to vinyl, keep letting jews sell you their shyt after paying for it

Yeah, it's completely BS.

Normally, when you pay for a service like Netflix you're paying to watch content without ads. Other services are free, but have ads because that's how they make money.

These people keep pushing back on their words and charging people more money, knowing people are hurting right now. Some real predatory shyt.

Amazon already took all these companies' business, but want to keep charging more.
