I have to pay extra to remove ads from Prime Video - eviltoast

I’d seen rumours online but got the email this morning.

EDIT: seems like there won’t be ads for everyone straight away.

  • Live events, such as sports, and content offered through Amazon Freevee will continue to include advertising. Customers in the Republic of Ireland, Channel Islands, and Isle of Man won’t see ads in their experience at this time.

    when they do fully separate the two unrelated services and people have separate charges for each, they’ll soon realize how many people only watched it because it was tacked-on in the first place.

      Well, it was already possible, at least where I live, to get prime video only. Especially helpful since Prime doesn’t have any faster shipping where I live anyway. That’s the subscription I had, but I cancelled them a while ago already, so I don’t know how this decision impacts subscribers like that
