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.

Not me, I use it for shipping only anyways lol. I also have zero tolerance for ads. If it's not on the couple of services I already pay for, I just play it on Plex instead.

A few things

  • Amazon years their employees like shit. Pay and treat them properly. Our gadget for $20 less than we can get from another store is subsidized by those workers.

  • the commercials on Prime video. I specifically pay to watch shows, and not be interrupted and pitched dish soap. That was the deal

  • removing the option of prime delivery will mean I will source my options more fairly to local sellers

In the end, I feel less dirty by not having that option. In the long run, will Amazon serve me better? The enshitification of the internet has taught me the answer will be no.

Just to be clear, what they pay their employees and the commercials they show made you feel enslaved?

[–] willybe@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm not quite sure what your hang-up is? Is it the word slave? If that is it, then the employees of Amazon are the wage-slaves that deserve due credit. Where as I might consider myself a slave in the sense that I find myself answering to their bidding.

  • Jack up rates, yes master.
  • Interrupt us with ads, sure go ahead master
  • disrupting buying patterns, always you master

My sense of freedom from Amazon is not up for debate.

So what is your @hogmamma@lemmy.world relationship with Amazon?

[–] hogmomma@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I think you're being just a touch dramatic, but aight, dude. I don't have any relationship with Amazon other than being a Prime subscriber.
