      we encountered this for the first time over the weekend.

      Hitting “play” on a service I pay for, and then seeing 50 seconds of unrelated ads was unbelievably jarring.

      I’ll admit/concede that we aren’t dropping Prime, we use too much of it all around. But that night? I immediately fired up the Ol’ Blackbeard and downloaded the rest of the season. Screw that noise.

        Yep, same here. We’re not cancelling because Video is just a side benefit, but it certainly accelerated my plans to build a home media server

      I cancelled 6 months ago. It just ran out yesterday.

      Now I have to put $35 of physical items in my cart for free shipping. Oh no! what ever will I do!?
