This is the best summary I could come up with:

Amazon Prime Video will include advertising during shows and movies starting early next year, joining other streaming services that have added different tiers of subscriptions.

Members of Amazon Prime can pay $2.99 per month in the U.S. to keep their service ad-free, the company said Friday.

Disney will begin charging $13.99 a month in the U.S. for ad-free Disney+ in mid-October, 75% more than the ad-supported service.

Ads in Prime Video content will start in the U.S., U.K., Germany, and Canada in early 2024, followed by France, Italy, Spain, Mexico, and Australia later in the year.

For U.S. users, Amazon said it will send out an email to Prime members several weeks before ads are introduced into its programs with information on how to sign up for the ad-free option if they choose to do so.

Members also get free shipping for goods bought on Amazon.com, groceries, online music and more.

So glad I didn't renew my prime subscription this year. I could smell this turd coming from down the road.

May be worth the 3 bucks if the freevee stuff is ad free too then. Otherwise they can go f themselves.

I was casually browsing Prime the other month and stumbled upon the movie Cohesion. Was pretty great and under 90 minutes long.

Shane I'll have to delete the app now.

I am paying close attention to their charges. I am sure that at some point the discounts will not be worth the fees.
