Prime Video subs will soon see ads for Amazon products when they hit pause
Amazon is adding three types of shoppable ads to Prime Video's ad tier.
As if the Prime Video app couldn't get any worse.

After almost 20 years as a Prime subscriber I unsubscribed about a week ago. It was the ads, I put up with a lot of nonsense over the years but the ads were the final insult.
I'm not paying full streaming service prices for a service with ads.
I was a long time subscriber as well, but canceled right before Christmas 2022. I missed it for about a week and then I realized most things I "needed immediately" from Amazon I could either 1) drive across town to purchase from brick and mortar or 2) actually just wait for it.
The end result has been me buying less things I don't need, and buying the things I do need from local retailers (and of course big box stores), or ordering them from other online retailers since the shipping is comparable to Amazon.
2 years in and I don't miss it at all, will never go back. I do want to watch the Fallout series though.
You can sail the high seas for Fallout. It's worth it!
As they've turned into wish.com over the last few years I've bought less and less from them so I by the end I was mainly paying for the TV service.
I don't see myself gong back either.
