Lol that’s a nope from me, dawg. I’ll bail on that once I start seeing ads on a thing I pay for.
Trillion dollar company doesn’t care. You’ll get ads and they will take your money. Like it or not.
The enshitification will continue until there isn’t any cent left to transfer to the shareholders.
Rent seeking. It’s called rent seeking. People keep calling it “enshitification” as if this is a new thing.
Rent seeking is just a part of enshitification

They already show ads though. Just for their own content after every episode.
It’s made me stop using their service because it’s annoying enough as it is.
Also those make me despise the advertised show and refuse to watch it already.
Oh awesome, great for users. I hope they increase the price of prime again with it!
Finally, that’s what everyone has been eagerly waiting for …
Yeah, what we were always missing after fleeing cable, was the ads that really made each show worth it.
Why can’t we just have nice things?
Because of Capitalism.
Well tell it to stop breaking all my stuff. This is bullying 😭
well… this gonna be a bit harder
I believe in you. You can do anything you set your mind to.
Remember folks who are currently subscribed: They do not give prorated refunds for full year subs.
When you cancel the service ends immediately. Setup calendar reminders or eat the sunk cost now becauseAmazon Prime is just a typical subscription entrapment scheme that will only get harder and harder to cancel, like a gym membership.Edit: Thanks /u/@firadin - Cancel now, you don’t lose anything and the membership simply won’t renew on your renewal date.
Is that new? When I cancelled last year a couple months into my year long subscription I got the money back for the unused months. No problem, easy too.
It’s not new, it’s just asshole web design and misleading pages when you go to cancel. I went and cancelled a couple minutes ago.
That’s not accurate, they don’t stop your benefits when you hit the cancel button. I just cancelled today and have my benefits until the end of my yearly subscription in November.
Wow, you’re right. I just ended mine.
Their website has an asshole design. They make you click through two pages before telling you the truth.
I was contemplating to subscribe to Prime as they have some interesting (for me) exclusive stuff, but was hesitating to add just another subscription.
Thank you, Amazon, to make the decision so easy - if even a paid subscription is riddled with ads, it is a 100% no-buy for me.
yarr
So ads, charging for shipping on many products, and costing $140 a year? Hmm.
Time to ditch Prime.
TBH, it was a long ago, but this is the last straw.
I used to think I ought to cancel.
I still do, but I used to, too.
Amazon Prime hasn’t been good for years. There’s no reason to pay for it.
If amazon was smart they would have not included their streaming service in their free shipping subscription but now it just feels like an expensive bloated product with minimal value.
For the first time I was contemplating cancelling my prime subscription,but now I believe the contemplation is over.
Better not be advert breaks in the service I PAY FOR, or else I’m out.
I’m not paying anybody to serve me adverts. Ever.
Their application is already god awful, and their database is built incredibly poorly (what idiot decided that different seasons of one TV show should have entirely separate listings in the database, often making it hard to find?!).
AND, they’re constantly trying to shove extra paid stuff down my throat, like something called Paramount+, in the thing I’m already bloody paying for.
I’m already at the edge of my tether with these people for their crappy service. If they introduce advertisment breaks into a service I’m paying for? That would be a direct insult, and I don’t stand for that sort of thing.
Slap Jeff with a glove

Likely this is legacy from when you would buy each season as a DVD set
I read somewhere that streaming content has to be filed with a weight and dimensions because their database only understands packages.
Paramount Plus is the worst streaming service with the second best content
God their UI is horrendous.
yar har fiddle dee dee
I’m supposed to pay them so that they can make more money off me? Uh… No. No, I’m good.
