With the addition of ads for paying users, is there anything subscribers can do to protest? I hate ads with a passion.

Maybe separate all shipping items to cost them more? I’m not seeing many options other than cancellation

If you're still on Amazon Prime in [current year] I doubt you'll listen to reason, but the only thing you can do is to cancel and tell them that the ads are the only reason for your decision.

Then pirate everything for free because only idiots are paying for streaming in [current year].

The thing is, I want to pay the creators for the content I watch, to an extent. If it is ridiculous or includes ads I’m not for it. I have a year sub so yeah I’ll listen to reason but it has a lag time ha

If you want to pay them then buy the physical media. No ads and they get paid.

This was precisely how and why we cancelled, and you can bet I'm still not missing my shows.
