So, who's cancelling Prime because of the Ads

No, I have prime for free shipping.

TV is just a bonus.

I've cancelled. When I've enough junk to get delivered I'll sign up then cancel again.

I was satisfied enough paying for Netflix (from Turkey), Prime, Apple, Disney but these price increases and ads have me at Netflix and Disney

Apple is fantastic but just not enough stuff

Prime has only a few good shows

More and more I'm sailing the seven seas again.

I rarely use prime for Video/TV, it was a "bonus" that apart from Jack Ryan and some Rugby games I barely used. I got Prime for cheap and quick delivery.

Now that said, I don't like the idea of being nickel and dimed to death while streamers slowly figure out that they are just a form of network TV that needs advertising revenue to balance their books. I don't think I'll cancel prime just yet, but it's coming.

Kodi and real-debrid are all anyone really needs to enjoy the high seas these days☠️

NI prime is a different beast ant truly shows how **** ours is, on the same fecking island

I had been thinking about cancelling anyway and this might be the straw that breaks the camel's back. Now that Christmas is over, I don't think there'll be much shopping done here for a while. I've always seen Prime Video as a perk of the overall Prime service, rather than a must-have. Its selection of movies and TV series has improved but it's nothing special. There are also so many streaming choices out there now, there's no way anybody can keep up with it all. I think people can live with ads when they're watching videos for free. When you're paying for a service and now they introduce ads, it's a different story.

When I was abroad, some of Amazon's content was offered via IMDB and had ads. If they serve up the ads in the same manner as they did with this IMDB service, it'll definitely annoy people. Nobody likes ads at the best of times but when they start up randomly in the middle of scenes they're particularly distracting. I'll probably wait and see what the ads are like first before making a decision. But probably, I'll cancel. Then at some point I might re-subscribe and pay full whack for a month or two, then cancel again.

I think a lot of the common stuff ships from Amazon in Ireland now. Not sure why they have people buying across currencies from Amazon.co.uk

I wouldnt ever watch an ad again. Youtube had me drive mad til i figured out how to bypass ads.

I only watch the odd thing on Prime. If I see an ad on it i wont watch it again, but i will keep it for the delivery.

I have Netflix only now.

I did have Disney until last week but when I saw the price increase to renew i cancelled it.

Now I have found a way to pay the half the yearly subscription of one of those services but that that gets me all of them for free plus sports I think i'll cancel Netflix too. I definitely will if the price goes up or i ever see an ad on it.

Have prime for the shipping really, only ever watched one or two shows on it.

I'm paid up for the year though so won't cancel until next winter.

The literal only thing that caught my eye on prime was a documentary on women going missing in the midlands from the 80s on.

You guessed it, not available in your region. A documentary about crime in Ireland that you can't watch in Ireland. That's the job Jeff.

January. Not here yet. It's opt in as far as I know.

OP seek out a recent video on Louis Rossmann about this ads in Amazon viewing issue. Some extra swearing too. Enjoy.

Although I have a JVC fire TV which is recommended for Amazon prime addicts I don't have Amazon prime.

Just a reminder to people: You can cancel now and you will still get the remainder of the period you've paid for. You don't need to remember to do it at the end of the subscription.

This will just lead to people going back to piracy.

They couldn't defeat it back in the mid 2000s. They certainly won't be able to stop it now

What are the differences between a UK subscription and one here in Ireland?

Fair point, had forgotten about that, I've had prime for so long.

Quick calc suggests 85% of the stuff i got was under that €30 figure!

No the prices in the notice were GBP and USD.

UK prime and American prime is accessed through amazon site directly at Amazon co uk or Amazon com, but we access it via primevideo com.

It might have be different rules!

I still haven't been informed of this change anyway!

Primevideo can be paid separately by euro if you want this sub, but it can also be a perk from having full prime on UK site.

I'm not registered with Amazon and when I share a link with my wife the price always increases for her as she's logged in.

I was on the hunt for a new phone, spotted 1 for €199 on Amazon with free delivery, when I shared it with the wife to buy it on her account the price jumped to €239, far more then the delivery would have cost.

We've went through the purchase steps and it's not the vat and charges, they bring it up by just over €6 total.

It shows €239 on the main page but it increases to €247 or thereabouts on the payment page.

It's clearly a different pricing structure for prime members to include the delivery fee.

I will definitely be cancelling if the adds appear during a film or show. If it’s a couple of add’s before the film starts I probably wouldn’t care.

Im seriously considering getting rid of all my subs. My dodgy stick has everything and the content on netflix, prime and disney has gone to the dogs.

Cancelled it last year, free shipping just encouraged us to buy to much crap.
