Comment on I have to pay extra to remove ads from Prime Video
cyberpunk007@lemmy.world 10 months agoNot me, I use it for shipping only anyways lol. I also have zero tolerance for ads. If it’s not on the couple of services I already pay for, I just play it on Plex instead.

A few things
Amazon years their employees like shit. Pay and treat them properly. Our gadget for $20 less than we can get from another store is subsidized by those workers.
the commercials on Prime video. I specifically pay to watch shows, and not be interrupted and pitched dish soap. That was the deal
removing the option of prime delivery will mean I will source my options more fairly to local sellers
In the end, I feel less dirty by not having that option. In the long run, will Amazon serve me better? The enshitification of the internet has taught me the answer will be no.

Just to be clear, what they pay their employees and the commercials they show made you feel enslaved?
willybe@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
I’m not quite sure what your hang-up is? Is it the word slave? If that is it, then the employees of Amazon are the wage-slaves that deserve due credit. Where as I might consider myself a slave in the sense that I find myself answering to their bidding.
My sense of freedom from Amazon is not up for debate.
So what is your @hogmamma@lemmy.world relationship with Amazon?

I think you’re being just a touch dramatic, but aight, dude. I don’t have any relationship with Amazon other than being a Prime subscriber.
