I have to pay extra to remove ads from Prime Video

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.

that looks to be almost all steaming services adding an ad-supported option, you now pay to not have ads.

Back to the high sea's to watch anything then

Yo ho ho, shiver me timbers, what a crew the Jolly Roger is getting

Aye, what a fuckin crew. Everybody knows the noobs don't know how important seeding is, and bitch about download speeds 🤨

Patience, Long John Silver. They're just a bit green about the gills. They'll get their sea legs.

Edit: ignore this. They actually do offer an adfree sub

But Amazon is not doing this. They show ads on the one subscription they have, that they already recently have raised the price for. This is higher price for lower quality and no option to upgrade or downgrade. They leave you the option to stay or leave

The email says you can pay $3 more for the current experience? Or is there some other subscription that makes this confusing?
