Dear Prime member,
We are writing to you today about an upcoming change to your Prime Video experience. Starting January 29, Prime Video movies and TV shows will include limited advertisements. This will allow us to continue investing in compelling content and keep increasing that investment over a long period of time. We aim to have meaningfully fewer ads than linear TV and other streaming TV providers. No action is required from you, and there is no change to the current price of your Prime membership. We will also offer a new ad-free option for an additional $2.99 per month that you can sign up for here.
The C-suite resent the shareholders as much as they do the customers. That's why many of these geriatric corporations pretend they're scrappy tech growth companies; FOMO retail investors, perform corporate stock buybacks, and cash out at the top. Classic pump and dump behavior.
