I think I might cancel. I'm not watching ads and I'm not going to pay the extra $3/mo to opt out. I don't know if I'd end up paying more than the subscription cost in shipping though....

This is such a weird way of announcing/implementing a $3/month increase for Prime video by Amazon, and a lot more destructive PR-wise too.
Lol needlessly downgrading all the customers instead of increasing their price. Can we just make subscriptions track inflation metrics so I at least know how fucked I am on average?
Lemmy needs a DataIsBeautiful community, they’d make that graph.
Right? If it just went up a bit I wouldn't have blinked an eye. Ads on something I (technically my dear husband) already pay for just pisses me off. It feels like they're holding ad-free viewing hostage
Right? For how much companies seem to love bubblewrapping anything they do in PR, they sure do suck at it sometimes...
