Amazon Prime Video Unless You Pay New 'Ad Free' Fee

Amazon Prime announced Friday morning a new plan to start placing "limited advertisements" in TV shows and movies unless customers pay an extra monthly fee. 

"To continue investing in compelling content and keep increasing that investment over a long period of time, starting in early 2024, Prime Video shows and movies will include limited advertisement," an Amazon press release read. 

The e-commerce giant said its streaming platform would have "fewer ads than linear TV and other streaming TV providers," and ads in Prime Video will be introduced across the US, UK, Germany, and Canada in early 2024. Then, customers in France, Italy, Spain, Mexico, and Australia will see ads in the second half of the year.
