Comment on Streaming Ads Are So Much Worse Than Traditional Ad Breaks | MZS | Roger Ebert
JustUseMint@lemmy.world 7 months agoRecently, Amazon prime made a change. Prime video was included with Prime membership, ad free, for quite a while. Now, it has ads, UNLESS you pay something like an additional $5 a month. This occurred within the last 6-12 months now.

Right, but they said they cancelled because they started including ads. I’m confused why someone would cancel their prime shipping program over ads on a video service that was included as a bonus. Just stop watching the platform and keep your free shipping.

It’s not free shipping, you’re paying $140/year.

True. It also covers the cost of returns too though, which can be very valuable if you order online a lot. Like you said though, it’s probably not worth much to people who don’t frequently order online through Amazon.

I paid Prime because Video was included. Just the shipping isn’t worth the monthly fee to me.
