Did they make a deal with VLC player?

Well, then are not going to see my money anymore, that's for sure.
I unsubbed from prime last year once the ads were announced on prime video.
There's no reason to have it anymore imo.
A VPN sub is like $40 a year and that lets me get any media I want.
Free Shipping without prime starts at orders over $35. Who doesn't spend at least $35 in 2024?
Wow, what happened to paying for things supporting the product and not needing ads?
You're forgetting one important thing - Bezos needs more money! Line must go up. Always. At any cost.
yeah, companies gotta do what a companies gotta do. and we get NO say.
After almost 20 years as a Prime subscriber I unsubscribed about a week ago. It was the ads, I put up with a lot of nonsense over the years but the ads were the final insult.
I'm not paying full streaming service prices for a service with ads.
I was a long time subscriber as well, but canceled right before Christmas 2022. I missed it for about a week and then I realized most things I "needed immediately" from Amazon I could either 1) drive across town to purchase from brick and mortar or 2) actually just wait for it.
The end result has been me buying less things I don't need, and buying the things I do need from local retailers (and of course big box stores), or ordering them from other online retailers since the shipping is comparable to Amazon.
2 years in and I don't miss it at all, will never go back. I do want to watch the Fallout series though.
As they've turned into wish.com over the last few years I've bought less and less from them so I by the end I was mainly paying for the TV service.
I don't see myself gong back either.
You can sail the high seas for Fallout. It's worth it!
I'm surprised they think this is useful... if I've paused a video it's because I'm answering the phone or front door, making a coffee, going for a shit etc... I'm almost never going to see these ads 🤷🏻♂️
