Amazon cuts hundreds of jobs in Prime Video and MGM Studios::Mike Hopkins, who oversees those units, sent a note to staffers informing them of the job cuts.
The corporate price gouging and death by 1000 cuts fees have gotten out of control since the COVID era. Not just for Amazon either, though they are a very strong case in point. I am trying to do as little business as possible with these globocorps anymore.
I love the Amazon prime ads I keep hearing about how you get ad-free podcasts and can listen to all your favorite podcasts ad-free. Then in the 2x speed disclaimer at the end it says some titles may have ads.
It really reaffirms my decision to never pay for Amazon prime.

But they introduced the fee for no ads in prime. This is just another Corp money grab. They really disgust me.

I been getting those as well. Like the whole advertisement is for not ads, yet ads!? Wtf
And I finally canceled. It was the final enshittification straw that broke the camel’s back.
Cancelled prime or just the video portion?
Prime. Subscriptions with rebates still work. Prime video was already annoying enough with the ads at the beginning.
Killed Amazon Fire TV stick before, was on nVidia Shield TV pro. Will try to order stuff elsewhere in future, too.
Hasent amazing always been this many grabbing ass?
Uhh… what?
