Arr, ye scurvy dogs! Methinks Amazon be plannin' to display advertisements to them Prime Video scallywags who pay less. But worry not, mateys, for they ain't the only ones sailin' this cursed sea!

Arr, me mateys! Listen up, for I've got some news to share that'll make ye laugh like a jolly ol' pirate on a treasure hunt. Word has it that Amazon, the mighty online marketplace, be plannin' to show ads to some of ye scurvy dogs who be payin' less for their Prime Video subscription. Aye, ye heard it right!

Now, ye may be thinkin', "Why in the name o' Davy Jones' locker would they be doin' such a thing?" Well, it seems Amazon be wantin' to make some extra pieces o' eight from those who be enjoyin' Prime Video at a discounted price. They reckon it be a fair trade for savin' a few doubloons.

But let me tell ye, these landlubbers from Amazon aren't the only ones sailin' this sea. They be followin' in the footsteps of Hulu, another streamin' service, who be showin' ads to their subscribers who be payin' less too. Seems like they be takin' a page outta Captain Hulu's playbook.

Now, I can see ye raisin' yer eyebrows and scratchin' yer pirate beards, wonderin' if this be a good or bad thing. Well, it all depends on how ye look at it, me hearties. Some may argue that payin' less and puttin' up with a few ads be a small price to pay for access to a treasure trove of entertainment. Others may be shoutin' "Shiver me timbers!" and considerin' jumpin' ship.

But fear not, me fellow buccaneers! For now, this be only affectin' a small group of Prime Video subscribers. So, if ye be payin' the full price for yer subscription, ye can keep enjoyin' yer shows without bein' interrupted by those pesky ads. Arr, that be a relief!

So, me hearties, keep an eye on the horizon and decide for yerselves whether ye be willin' to sail the Prime Video seas with ads or seek a different treasure elsewhere. In the end, it be all about findin' the right balance between savin' yer pieces o' eight and enjoyin' a smooth sailin' experience. Happy watchin', ye scallywags!
