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.
Now I have an excuse to drop Prime.
Fuck amazon
It had ads before movies from a long time, 4+ years or even more. The difference is before they were calling them "recommendations", now they're called "ads"
They were running forced movie "recommendations" (=ads) before movies to gather metrics to present to the advertisers
Trailers shouldn’t be lumped in with ads for Products imo. Trailers before movies have existed forever. Getting interrupted by an ad for Honda is annoying.
Have you been to a movie theatre lately? You get car ads before the previews now.
Yo HOoOoO! 🦜
This is why cloud free content is always better.
Looks like i cancelled it just in time. Bye bye Prime

I remember not too long ago, maybe 4 or 5 years, I was having a big argument on reddit and getting killed for giving out about Prime's ads between episodes... I'd completely forgotten about them until now. They used to promote their other shows with 30 second ads between episodes and reddit, or at least wherever I was, were absolutely cool with it.
Well guess what, I'll retain my "access" to such content on Amazon, but if I'm arsed to watch one of their stupid shows I'll do that elsewhere anyway.
Jokes on them, we unsubscribed last month lol
Would Blokada block these ads?
Cancelled prime. Downloaded freevee since most stuff on prime was already ad driven freevee.
No noticeable change except a fatter wallet.
