Amazon will “ramp up” Prime Video ads in 2025

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Just in time for me to have already cancelled my Prime membership last month. I've also not purchased from Amazon at all since then. Plan working as intended?!
I do have a prime account as do use Amazon, but we haven't watched a second of prime TV since they put ads in the included video subscription.
For some reason this was the straw that broke the camels back for me. I setup a NAS, Plex server and all the arr apps. It's been amazing. Haven't looked back.
I'm using plex but still hosting it on my desktop which is a little inconvenient at times. I really should set up an always available NAS
When they announced the ads it was just the incentive I needed to quit Prime totally. I don’t miss it. I already was wary of buying from Amazon due to the sketchy sellers and fake products, so I’m glad buying my stuff elsewhere except when I can’t find something somewhere else, which has been rare.
Same, dumped them, but they resubscribed me twice weeks later to Prime after I got two confirmation emails I was cancelled
