    This is the last one I was hanging onto because of the shipping from Amazon. I’ve been using it less and less though and have been considering cancelling my subscription here as well. Thank you Amazon for finally pushing me to cut my last subscription.

    This is essentially a $3 price increase or you can see ads while staying at the current price.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Earlier this year, Amazon announced plans to start incorporating ads into movies and TV shows streamed from its Prime Video service, and now the company has revealed a specific date when you’ll start seeing them: it’s January 29th.

    No action is required from you, and there is no change to the current price of your Prime membership,” the company wrote.

    Customers have the option of paying an additional $2.99 per month to keep avoiding advertisements.

    The rest of the email summarizes the many benefits of a Prime subscription — no doubt an attempt to keep customers from cancelling over this decision.

    The move comes as competing streaming services continue to raise subscription rates across the board.

    The monthly cost of Amazon Prime isn’t changing, but if you want to preserve the same experience you have today starting on January 29th, you’ll end up paying more.
