I’d seen rumours online but got the email this morning.

EDIT: seems like there won’t be ads for everyone straight away.

  • Live events, such as sports, and content offered through Amazon Freevee will continue to include advertising. Customers in the Republic of Ireland, Channel Islands, and Isle of Man won’t see ads in their experience at this time.

    Amazon prime is just the free 2 day prime shipping.

    Everything else is just extra thrown in because they can, video, music, twitch sub, cloud storage etc.

    So you aren’t paying for prime video so they aren’t taking anything from you by including the ads.

      The buy page literally lists videos and music as being part of what you’re buying with Prime, and unlimited storage for photos and that twitch sub are also listed benefit if you click the view more button.

      I don’t know why that would be considered “free” since they’re literally advertising those things.

      How are any of these things “free” if you’re paying to get these “free” features?
