The value proposition of Prime Video for me as an existing customer is so low at this point that it’s not worth the extra $36/year to watch their shows ad-free. I’ve watched everything I’m interested in and the shows I liked have all ended, with one heavily qualified exception (Rings of Power). I’d cancel it entirely like I did with Netflix and “Max” if the shipping benefit didn’t make it so worthwhile to me. Maybe I’ll just delete the app from my media player and move on with my life.

Just download. It literally hurts no one and is more convenient than streaming.

I wonder if this lawsuit will hold up in court
Amazon is facing a lawsuit accusing it of misleading Prime subscribers by charging them an additional fee to stream movies and TV shows without ads.
They announced the change in advance, it's not like they lied about the service. Sounds like flimsy reasoning to me.

So far all I’ve seen is that instead of having an ad for one of their shows before what I want to watch begins, it’s an ad for one of their products soi couldn’t care less 🤷

Look, here's the thing. If Amazon Prime wants to charge me three bucks more for ad-free viewing, the scope of the ad-free viewing had better be a whole lot wider than it currently is. There are plenty of shows on Freevee (an Amazon service) that show ads regardless of whether or not you're paying to have ads suppressed. You don't get my three extra dollars a month and STILL get to show me ads. That's not how it workie, Bezos.
