Amazon Prime Video will soon come with ads, or a $2.99 monthly charge to dodge them::Amazon’s Prime Video will begin showing ads during shows and movies early next year.

The only reason I used prime video was because it came with prime. I’m just going to stop using it altogether if there’s ads

I’m probably just going to cancel prime. It’s only gotten worse and worse. I can wait a week for shipping

Fun fact. If your cancel prime and dont order that frequently they will offer a month free over and over no matter how times they've given you free months. Then i do a whole buncha ordering in that one month and cancel prime. Free prime forever.

Sounds like what they do with my audible account, nice

Thanks for the reminder to cancel my audible!

Look into libro.fm! It has a subscription/credit service just like audible (if you want that; you can also just buy the books outright), except your subscription helps to support a local bookstore of your choice.

I switched prolly two years ago or so and haven't looked back.
