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.

    This is a 26% price hike. Amazon’s marketing BS shouldn’t fool anyone.

      But… If they don’t do that how will they invest in future programming?? Don’t you understand how little fucking money Amazon makes??

        True. We must all make sacrifices so Amazon’s profits can grow. Maybe their marketing department should call the increase a “Mandatory Donation for the Good of the World” to help us keep things in perspective.
