Amazon Prime Video SUED Over NEW Ad Policy

Users have been upset with Amazon Prime Video since the announcement they will be rolling out an ad supported tier. Now that the policy has been enacted Amazon is facing a potential class action lawsuit from users.

Amazon is not the first streaming platform to roll-out an ad supported tier. Previously Netflix and Disney+ rolled out similar tiers. The main difference between Prime Video and those other platforms is Amazon Prime is requiring users to pay an additional $2.99 per month in order to continue watching without ads breaks. Other streaming platforms like Netflix, Disney+, and Paramount+ made their ad supported tier a cheaper option and didn’t force ads on users who paid not to see them.
