I think I might cancel. I'm not watching ads and I'm not going to pay the extra $3/mo to opt out. I don't know if I'd end up paying more than the subscription cost in shipping though....

I have never found anything particularly worth watching on Prime. Well Good Omens but that's not enough for a whole service.

Freevee is Amazon prime video junior with ads, and that's already free. WTF, is Amazon thinking or not thinking?

I thought about torrenting both series of Good Omens out of spite when I found out about this

prevent paying more for shipping by not using amazon at all.

What made decide to cancel Prime was realizing that Amazon was adding a markup to prime products that effectively cancelled out any shipping savings. But also prime video offering was crap where I live.

That and Amazon being a terrible company that I didn't want to support anyway.

What does this mean for shows and movies that I purchased? Will they have ads unless I pony up? If I cancel Prime will I lose access to them?

Nothing. No. No.
