While I understand why it needs to be stated, it was such a funny line in the middle of this announcement.
This is also one of these cases where it goes out in US and some select western countries first, and they will shape the evolution of the product before it hits the rest of the world.
I'm pretty much hoping there's a big uproar in the first countries, because otherwise it's enough of a pain that I'd be out of Prime for good (video is the only part barely justifying the price for me now).
PS: This feels like the same shakedown as Youtube prime: we're paying to not getting bullied, and there's no frame of reference on how much it should be priced as they're not selling a product, but a protection.

- c0pium 3y agoAh yes, the classic shakedown where companies sell products for money. How dare they.
- makeitdouble 3y ago"pay for less ads" is a product in the sense that ad blockers or piehole style network filtering devices are products. It's not a product when it's implemented by the same company that injects the ads in the first place.
