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.

    Just to be clear, what they pay their employees and the commercials they show made you feel enslaved?

      I’m not quite sure what your hang-up is? Is it the word slave? If that is it, then the employees of Amazon are the wage-slaves that deserve due credit. Where as I might consider myself a slave in the sense that I find myself answering to their bidding.

      • Jack up rates, yes master.
      • Interrupt us with ads, sure go ahead master
      • disrupting buying patterns, always you master

      My sense of freedom from Amazon is not up for debate.

      So what is your @hogmamma@lemmy.world relationship with Amazon?

        I think you’re being just a touch dramatic, but aight, dude. I don’t have any relationship with Amazon other than being a Prime subscriber.
