Prime is already a rip off without the ads

it is if you don’t use it, but many people shop mostly or even exclusively on the platform. order more than once a week and it’s a fair value. i know some who make 10-20 orders a week and every day is a ‘prime delivery day’.

WTF I thought my one order every one to one and a half weeks due to my sheer laziness was getting excessive.

As for Prime getting commercials, it’s a good thing Prime somehow manages to have barely any content worth watching where they could possibly insert commercials for me. I’m assuming this will not apply to movies you pay to rent.

I don’t order at the last minute so for me it doesnt make any difference if it comes in 2 days or 5 days

Right now there’s a section in prime video that’s titled free with ads(only if you have prime). After the change, all prime videos will be in that section.

I wonder if they’ll add ads for the branded channels too or they’ll remain as they are.

They increased the price of Prime already to like $160 a year and now they’re adding ads while saying if you don’t want ads you can pay another $2.99?

I Pre-paid for a year of a service that they are now changing a fundamental element of. We should be able to cancel and get a refund of the remaining cost in situations like this.

in most countries you can. What country are you living in where one side can just declare a change to a contract without the other side agreement?

They’re saying $2.99 because it sounds better than $36/year.

Yeah I got rid of it a few months ago (UK). They no longer guarantee same day or even next day delivery (stuff seems to just arrive whenever). Since I cancelled Prime I’ve placed a couple of Amazon orders and they just didn’t arrive. It was really hard to complain as well, the page was buried down a rabbit hole of links. I’ve decided to stop using them completely now, the quality of stuff on there is terrible.
