I'm sure everyone now knows that Amazon will be adding commercials to the "free" videos you are now paying $15/M to watch as part of your Prime membership. Luckily, you can pay an additional $3/M to skip the commercials.
This falls in line with everyone else. My wife bought Disney LBGTQP+ and Hulu, both are caulk full of commercials since she didn't pay the upcharge. I know Netflix has a whole bunch of tiered pricing to get HD video and no commercials. Lets not forget YouTube Premium for $10/m (Hint, use BRAVE)
We've come full circle basically - you had Cable TV and Premium Cable Stations to minimize commercials but everyone got sick of having to buy a $120/M bundle to get the content they wanted. Now, you have to subscribe to +5 different subscription services and pay upcharges to have a commercial free, HD viewing experience that adds up to $113.92/M, so much for saving on cutting the cable.
But that's not what I'm actually bitching about. I'm more salty that in the last 5 years Amazon as a purchasing service has become absolute trash. It's all counterfeits and Chinese knock off. Everything on it can be found on AliExpress for less but with 3-5 day shipping. Toyota and AC Delco parts sold on Amazon are counterfeit, any tool or shop supply you get is trash. The USB cords, etc suck.
Louis does a great job in this video explaining it. This has been my EXACT experience. Better off at Harbor Freight.
Step away from the keyboard and commence drinking Jethro.
And turn the old boom box to the Classic Rock station.
