Amazon says we must endure limited commercials or pay an extra $3 per month.
Some people say they'll cancel Prime. Others will pay. I'll probably see how bad the ad-load is, but I expect I'll end up paying.
Part of my logic (if I pay) will be that if I cancel Prime, the cost of Amazon Music goes up by a couple of bucks. So ditching ads is actually just a dollar more a month, net. Unless, of course, they also decide to raise the music price.
If not for the music thing, I'd seriously consider ditching Prime because, frankly, there are currently fewer things that I watch on Prime than on other streaming services. OTOH, the price bump to keep Prime ad-free is not out of line with other streaming services like Netflix and Max.
