Ads are coming to Prime Video's entertainment content. Commercials in movies and series will be introduced in the U.S., U.K., Germany, and Canada in early 2024, followed by France, Italy, Spain, Mexico, and Australia later in the year.
There are no details about how big the ad load will be, with Amazon saying that commercials will be "limited" and the goal is "to have meaningfully fewer ads than linear TV and other streaming TV providers."

In addition to free shipping and other benefits, for their monthly fee — currently at $14.99 — Prime members have been able to watch Prime Video films and series ad-free. Those who want to continue to do so next year will have to pay an additional fee, set at $2.99 per month in the U.S. The rest will watch shows and movies that feature ads, with their monthly Prime membership remaining unchanged.

I only watch the boys and invincible on there anyway

Well prepare to watch the boys with ads

i have plex i'm not concerned

Biblical tier greed lmfao

greedy

This is already happening in the UK

Ublock users winning

So even with Prime Prime and not just Prime Video I’m gonna a have ads?

yesmovies.nm is ur friend

Naw cuz I’m too lazy to run over to my desktop to be abused by popups, slow load times, and having to airplay to my Apple TV

i mean its kinda whatever since most users only have Prime Video because they actively use Amazon Prime. It's always essentially been a free add on service. Ads on movies suck tho

Not nearly as mad at them for this then Disney hiking $3 on two services despite bringing nothing to the table.

Adblock exists

That doesn’t solve everything lmao

Radarr + plex

Plex boys stay winning

Bruh wtf

Good thing I have my own collection of movies I can just watch 💀

Watching TV starting to become a luxury.

Basically every streamer has an ad tier now. We all saw it coming

Inflation kicking everybody's a--

damn they really dont wanna pay their employees

this is just a way for them to keep making money during the strike so that they do not have to pay people fair money

Honestly can't remember the last time I used prime video

Only have it because of next day delivery

thats gonna be f***in annoying

We might be in the potential endgame for the hollywood strikes but I feel like the streaming industry creeps closer to self implosion every few months

A mix of corporate greed and panic after throwing away so much money into crap people didn’t even bother to watch
