Amazon Prime Email

I got an email today stating as of January 29 Amazon will be showing their content with limited ads. They aren't raising their prices, but for $2.99 a month you can get ad free. I'm not giving them one more cent, I already pay around $150 for a yearly subscription.

There was a thread on this earlier today. It must have been poofed because when I came home from running errands, the thread was gone.

I signed up for the ad free.

Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

This seems to be a hot topic today. I believe it was on the evening news too.

The other thread is in the TV and movie forum

@gidgetgh I didn't realize there was a thread already started, oh well!

It had been talked about for a while. It was just a matter of time. I don't really mind the ads on other streaming platforms, especially when you can see how long an ad runs. It's an opportunity to get up and move, or take a quick bathroom break.

Well, I do mind ads on my streaming platforms.

There is nothing that I can do about it, of course. Either watch them or pay not to.

We had TV with ads. Then they sold us TV without ads & we all bought in.

Now we pay for TV & if we want no ads, we have to pay extra.

Next they will offer us telephones on our kitchen walls for convenience!

I've never had TV with no ads. No one sold me a TV with no ads. So we didn't all buy in. I don't pay a penny for television, only the electricity to run it or streaming services I subscribe to at the tier I choose. I choose the least expensive because I don't mind ads. I don't watch or listen to them. I tune them out.

I use the time to load the dishwasher, or brush my teeth, or shop online...or just get off my butt.

not paying more for it to be ad free.

the ads allow me to make a drink, check my phone, bathroom break, or do other things during those few minutes.
