Amazon Prime Video subscribers are about to see even more ads. In January, viewers who didn't pay an additional $3 a month started to see commercials. Now, Amazon has announced that it's adding what it describes as shoppable carousel ads, interactive pause ads and interactive brand trivia ads. Here's more from Ars Technica. We want to know, have you, or will you ditch streaming services as they start to add commercials?
Streaming services that have added ads had better watch their backs: 52% of the people who voted in this poll say they've already dropped a provider because of ads and 36% say they're considering it. Some respondents cited the speedy delivery services as a reason to keep Prime. However, @FediThing points out that Amazon has started charging extra for that in some countries (for example, if you spend under £20 on an order in the U.K., you'll need to pay £1.99 for same-day delivery), so keep an eye on your bills.
