"Those who want to keep Amazon Prime Video ad-free can still do so — for an additional $2.99 per month in the U.S. on top of the annual subscription to Amazon’s overall Prime service."

Fuuuuuuuu!!!!!!

I might have to cancel my subscription then

 

[Lethal_Striker]

I don't mind ads at the beginning of a movie but don't like them on a continuous basis.

 

[kimocomplex]

Do not want

 

[PaleMoonlight]

I mainly use prime for shopping. Won’t really affect me but it’s bullshit tv apps are charging now to be add free. I think there’s 3 that’s doing this so far:

Disney
Amazon
HBO

We’re going back to the cable days again.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

I only have it for One, now that is free on YouTube... might cancel after football season...

 

[HereticBD]

This was always the plan.

Soon there will be tiered plans, with the top plan "only" subjecting you to an hour of ads per month.

How much does cable cost these days? Some of these streaming apps are likely gonna be bundled with each other just like cable channels are.

I’m not sure since I’ve never had cable. But I think my friend is paying about $150 per month.

For all the apps I have, I think I’m paying around $25 per month.

Netflix
Hulu
Disney+
Prime

I cancelled hbo max last month.

I got me a Chrysler, it's as big as a whale and about to set sail....

 

[NoSmilez]

I use it for prime. The TV is just extra crap that comes with it.

 

[Fedorgasm]

I've been a supporter of prime because I pay for prime to get the free shipping anyway, so the video streaming was just a nice bonus.

But I'm not paying extra for it. And if they put ads on it then I'll just stop watching it. Netflix still treats their customers right so I'll just watch that.

If this is what it takes to shoot Jeff Bezos into outer space then so be it.

Every streaming services is doing this since they’ve all lost tons of money chasing Netflix’s business model. It fucking sucks.

 

[IDGETKTFO]

Im not going to cancel, but there video service is garbage so i wont pay to be ad free. But you retards saying your are going to cancel, are , well, retards. You will do no such thing because you can't beat amazon prime shipping, so STFU.

Good thing I kept all my DVDs

The writing has been on the wall for quite some time to those that have been paying attention. They started with trying to get you to sign up for 3, 6 or 12 months by discounting the monthly cost. I never fell for that bullshit. I'll sign up for a month, binge watch the shows I want, then cancel. I'm sure millions of people do the same, and have a constant rotation of streaming services. Now they're going to add commercials to them, and make you pay extra to not see them. Vote with your wallets folks. Of course, most won't because we're a bunch of lazy cunts in this age of disposable crap.
