Dear Prime member,

We are writing to you today about an upcoming change to your Prime Video experience. Starting January 29, Prime Video movies and TV shows will include limited advertisements. This will allow us to continue investing in compelling content and keep increasing that investment over a long period of time. We aim to have meaningfully fewer ads than linear TV and other streaming TV providers. No action is required from you, and there is no change to the current price of your Prime membership. We will also offer a new ad-free option for an additional $2.99 per month* that you can sign up for here.

    There was a time when Hulu was totally free and without ads. Then they introduced ads. Then they introduced a premium subscription that didn’t even remove the ads and no tier above it to remove the ads. All before landing on their current model of paid with ads and a higher tier that has no ads.

    Unfortunately, it works. Somehow.
