Is it even legal to change the pricing like this in the middle of someone's year long contract? If someone paid $130 for a year of prime assuming there would be no ads, how can Amazon just stay putting in ads and demanding an extra $3?

I'm sure they'd say: "We never told you there wouldn't be ads. But we do have this new product you can purchase if you don't want the opportunity to learn about relevant targeted products from our new ad feature "

Glad I cancelled.
