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.
I have amazon prime, mostly for deliveries. Occasionally I'll watch a show, but if there's something I really want to see, I'll pirate it even if it's on amazon. Even if the pirated copy is just a webrip of the amazon version. Local files are just better.
