This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Start? In the UK here and it has always had ads. Even on paid
No it doesn't, it runs a trailer for something else before but I've never had ads mid program
Canceled. And long overdue I’ll admit
Sail the seven seas!
Even though I don't have Prime, Amazon's moves are making other sites more attractive. Walmart has been pretty good recently, offering 2-3 day shipping at no additional cost in my experience, along with a better app UI/UX. Now that Amazon has upped the minimum for free shipping, the only edge it holds over Walmart is the wider selection.
Amazon Prime Podcasts wants you to know that ads are bad and they offer them as free*. But here they are talking out the other side of their bean counters saying that ads aren't a problem.
The shitshow of video streaming continues!
I still have prime for the shipping, looks like I'll just be pirating prime video content. Fucking bastard pieces of shit.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Earlier this year, Amazon announced plans to start incorporating ads into movies and TV shows streamed from its Prime Video service, and now the company has revealed a specific date when you’ll start seeing them: it’s January 29th.
No action is required from you, and there is no change to the current price of your Prime membership,” the company wrote.
Customers have the option of paying an additional $2.99 per month to keep avoiding advertisements.
The rest of the email summarizes the many benefits of a Prime subscription — no doubt an attempt to keep customers from cancelling over this decision.
The move comes as competing streaming services continue to raise subscription rates across the board.
The monthly cost of Amazon Prime isn’t changing, but if you want to preserve the same experience you have today starting on January 29th, you’ll end up paying more.

We rarely watch anything on Prime except for a few original shows like Upload and Reacher. Prime Video is usually an afterthought.
Just before our yearly subscription ends. I’m busy ripping and saving what we like for the next month and finally canceling prime this year, this is just the added motivation to remember how much it sucks.
I just got too many channels for like 16 bucks from China.
They can fuck right off. That said they have a decent output so I'm not going to cancel them outright.
