Amazon Prime Video will soon come with ads, or a $2.99 monthly charge to dodge them

Amazon's ad algorithm will though, guaranteed, it is so unbelievably repetitive that if I get an ad break on one of their platforms without a plug for the Far Cry audio book, or Audible in general, I consider it a minor miracle on a par with Rashaad Penny playing more than three quarters without getting injured
I don't mind the ads. Gives me time to go take a whiz.

I'd be a little more okay with Amazon's decision if I thought it was more about getting ad revenue. But I expect the plan will be to play the same annoying ads over and over (a good portion being free-for-them ads for other Amazon products) to convince more people to pony up the extra $36 a year.
Paying a monthly subscription fee to watch channels with ads? Now where have we seen this before . . .?We've almost come full circle at this point.
Not really the same. This is solely a fee to not watch ads. That said, I have gone to the I’m fine to pay less for ads. I still pay way less than Dish Network for way more and way easier to use. I watched My Chauffeur and Vision Quest recently. The latter was free with ads but still awesome. Unless Blockbuster is reopening with an 80s theme, I’d have a real tough time doing that without streaming.Paying a monthly subscription fee to watch channels with ads?

You’re doing it wrong. You go take a whiz and then you can rewind back to the end of the ad so you don’t have to watch it. I’ve gotten good at timing ads as well. If I’m eating lunch (WFH), I’ll do the throw away/clean up during the ads or starting the cooking, check dog’s bowls, check emails, etc. I will also always pick the 30 second interactive ad and click around for fun.I don't mind the ads.

Hint - most streaming services have a button called "pause", which works in much the same way as it did with VHS players 40 years ago

Maybe. I just would rather have a 30 second ad than a two minute+ one.You are a dream consumer.I will also always pick the 30 second interactive ad and click around for fun.

But you're paying the subscription fee to watch the channels with ads. You're just okay with that because it's baked into the fee that includes other perks and you feel it's worth it (and it's yearly instead of monthly), but you're still paying for it. And some people without those other Prime perks pay for the Prime Video-only subscription, now (soon) with ads.Not really the same.

I wish. For some reason my family likes NF so I had to decide to axe Max or Criterion since I was the only one who watched those.Netflix's days are numbered if this keeps up. I currently have Netflix, Prime, Hulu, and Max. If I have to drop one, it's an easy call.

The Hims commercials on HULU are the ones that do it for me. I usually stream something when I'm working out in the morning and that's just not what I want to see that early in the morning...25 ****ing times.And that's similar to ads on Hulu.

I have all those as well. And what’s interesting is for me. The easy drop is Max.Netflix's days are numbered if this keeps up. I currently have Netflix, Prime, Hulu, and Max. If I have to drop one, it's an easy call.
I don’t consider it. It’s like the Thursday night football. It’s just there. With one son a couple hours away working and one son at college, we use it a ton so I’d have Prime regardless. Honestly, Prime has a bunch of stuff I like show wise so it’s well worth it. Not sure if I’d pay more for no-ads but I don’t really consider it. Just like my HBO Max. Comes with my AT&T service. I’m sure the cost was built in but I’m not cancelling my cell service.But you're paying the subscription fee to watch the channels with ads.

Oh so I don’t care at all.If you have Prime it will still be no commercials with no extra charge. (For now).
Yeah and I don't think any of my Amazon orders needed to be there in two days.Other than Maisel I can’t remember the last time I watched something on prime. In my however many years of having it I think that’s the only show I’ve watched. Great show though.
Really, I love prime shows. Jack Ryan finished solid. Love The Boys, Invincible, LOTR, Peripheral (so annoyed they cancelled it due to strike after picking up season 2) and I even enjoyed Wheel of Time, which it sounds likes it’s been better this season. Also, The Expanse was awesome and unlike GOT, I do plan to rewatch that whole series at some point. I want to forget a bit more. I’m sure I’m missing more like movies, but I’d give up Max easily and I’d have a tough time deciding with Netflix. Max and Prime are free to me so luckily don’t have to decide. Netflix is definitely something I might drop and then pick back up when the last season of stranger things comes out.Other than Maisel I can’t remember the last time I watched something on prime.

Netflix has way more and better content than Hulu imo.Netflix's days are numbered if this keeps up. I currently have Netflix, Prime, Hulu, and Max. If I have to drop one, it's an easy call.
All those shows you mentioned I haven’t watched any of them other than the boys, which I bailed on pretty quickly. Different strokes etc.Really, I love prime shows. Jack Ryan finished solid.

Additionally, I've enjoyed Top Gear/Grand Tour, Clarkson's Farm, Bosch, Patriot, Catastrophe, Air, Reacher, Upload, plus a lot of random movies and kids stuff. I think the service is underrated and is probably up there with Disney and Netflix for most watched streamers in my house.Really, I love prime shows. Jack Ryan finished solid.

Someone posted above that it’s no charge still for no ads if you have overall Prime. Seems like it only affects Prime Video only folks.So if you're subscribing to Prime anyway (like I will be) it's basically a $3/month increase. All the streaming services are increasing costs rather significantly at the moment so that's not particularly surprising.
Ok cranky. It’s funny because teams go up and down but why would you complain about the Eagles/Vikings and 49ers/Giants. Before the season that was 3 division winners and one playoff team. You get Hurts, CMC, Barkley, AJ Brown, D Smith, Deebo, Jefferson, Bosa, etc.If Prime had to rely on it's content, it would have been gone a long time ago.All those shows you mentioned I haven’t watched any of them other than the boys, which I bailed on pretty quickly.

Even the football they offer is the worst.
Hey, we have the NFL!!
oh dang really?
Yes! Thursday night games!!
oh....
Well I’m confused now. The article I read before I posted that clearly stated that Amazon prime users would not be charged, it was only those with prime video memberships. That article is no longer around and I can’t find another one saying the same. So now I’m not sure.Someone posted above that it’s no charge still for no ads if you have overall Prime.

People pay for Prime Video only? I didn't even think that was an option. I barely watch it and cant imagine paying only for that.Someone posted above that it’s no charge still for no ads if you have overall Prime.

Sorry man, if you don’t enjoy it, it doesn’t mean it wasn’t good content.

I don't watch either!!!! LolIt's cute when football fans pretend like they don't want more football, but TNF ratings have been pretty comparable with MNF ratings the last couple of years, so it's pretty clear most people do in fact like it.
I can't imagine going back to the days of having to wait 6 days between games every week.
The NFL on Prime is the sharpest picture of any games.The TNF game last night looked amazing on my LG OLED.

yep and it doesn't just take a minute either, it's easily a few each time. can't really do it.I don't watch TNF on prime because I'm a channel flipper, popping in and out of the app is just annoying for me
