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 at that
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.

I still have prime for the shipping, looks like I'll just be pirating prime video content. Fucking bastard pieces of shit.
its been fun watching all these streaming bullets whiz by me and my giant smokin' NAS. i feel like neo!
but really, who didnt see this coming the day they announced their service?
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.
Stremio + Torrentio
My membership is up in a week or so. I was looking into the Walmart equivalent as a replacement, but they've proven to be even worse. I don't know where to go from here.
I'm not a daily Amazon user. Maybe one or two orders per month. But when I need those things, they can be tough to find at brick and mortar.
You can cancel Prime and keep your Amazon account. A lot of stuff still ships for free on orders of more than $25.
Are there any videos/guides to set up a Usenet for dummies? Asking for a friend of mine.
Aye matey! In fact, they're are entire communities right here in the Lemmyverse all about sailing the digital seas!
Kind of interesting what can be done without the oversight of corporate overlords and monied interests.
So if I understand this right, I can use something like nzbget as the downloader and eweka to download from/as the indexer. Correct?
Is there anything else I would need to get/set up?
Look up "trash guides" for the *arr programs. I use Sabnzbd, Prowlarr, Sonarr, Radarr, Recyclarr, Jellyseerr, and Jellyfin. All in docker containers on their own vlan. Lemme know if you need any help.
My parents still watch cable and the odd time I've seen an ad for some other service advertised as only 12/mo with ads or something like that. Is that supposed to sound good to anyone. All these shit corporations need to get fucked.
I'd forgotten they were gonna start doing this. I've got Amazon for the shipping there video has always been leaking. I use it maybe twice a year. They're probably trying to delay a price increase to Amazon and increase revenue.
FFS, at least give me some quality programming for once.
Presently, every time i dive into az video i find nothing and that my time spent was in vain... so now they want me to pay even more for this added misery? Easy decision... I'm out.
In a word: yarrrrr
