Amazon Prime Video to Introduce Ads, Other Streaming Services Increase Prices

Despite changes, some argue Amazon Prime remains valuable due to product availability and convenience.

Starting January 29, Amazon Prime Video will introduce advertisements to its streaming service. Customers wanting to avoid the ads would have to pay an extra $2.99 a month.
Other streaming services like Netflix, Prime Video and Paramount+ have also increased prices or introduced ads in recent years.
Streaming companies claim they are struggling to attract new customers, resulting in higher prices or plans that are cheaper but include ads.
Netflix announced a price hike and said it would start clamping down on users who share their passwords with people outside of their households for free.
Despite the changes, some argue that Amazon Prime is still worth it due to the overwhelming product availability and the convenience it offers.
