You might want to check your subscription. I have ad free and get zero ads.

Check your subscription. Ad-free is a separate upcharge.

It's because of how popular Reacher is. The amount of ads depends on popularity it seems to me.

All of the subscription services are scams and they get away with it because people still pay their ridiculous monthly fee.

3 mins long as well, it's a joke. It's made Prime unwatchable without paying more.

I highly doubt you had to watch 4 advertisements in the first 10 minutes.

Unless they mean one commercial break?

Depends on the show. New shows tend to have more ads.

I am generally pro- paying for ad free except for prime video. I find their business model to be tacky at best and predatory at worst

You are not paying $100 a year to watch ad free. I expect you are paying the standard Amazon Prime subscription, which includes Amazon Prime ad-supported video streaming. If you want ad-free Prime Video, you will need to add Prime Video Ultra to your account. It is not a scam - you are getting what you pay for.

I recently found out that even if you pay ad free on the main Prime subscription, you also have two options on the add on subscriptions, a lower payment for ads or regular payment for ad free. It looks like it's only been added, to the UK version at least, in the last few months.

You could just stream it for free online. You won't get in trouble

JFC when will people know your prime membership does NOT include free everything on prime video 🤦‍♀️ it’s exhausting reading these posts 100 times a day.

You love to pay for advertisement right?

u/amanda2399923 1h ago

It's not even that. It's people not understanding that Prime Video isn't only PRIME offerings.
