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.

    Can someone tell me what the point of prime is at this point? I don’t remember the last time a package arrived in under a week and now there are ads of a shitty streaming service?

      I’m one of them libural pansy hippies who occasionally gets (slightly more) humane meat/dairy at whole foods. Did the math and begrudgingly, the prime exclusive discounts covered the costs. The alternative for me is going full vegan, or spending even more at a similar store, either of which would just suck.

        Dealing with a restricted diet sucks less than living with the guilt of the absolutely cruel abuses that you’d be enabling by buying meat. Those animals feel fear and pain just like you do.
