Amazon Prime Video content to start including ads next year

Amazon says its Prime Video users will see ads on TV shows and movies unless they pay extra.

This will be the straw that breaks the camel’s back for me.

    If you subscribe to other channels via Amazon Prime (e.g., Paramount+ through the Prime app), they already serve you 70-90s unskippable ads. Often ads for the very show you are about to watch. It’s infuriating.

    If I were paying for it myself it would be totally unacceptable. Since I’m just using someone else’s account, it still makes me mad but I’ll tolerate it.

      I don’t know about other channels, but Paramount+ shows a crapton of ads even on their official platform. That may not be Amazon’s fault.
