[prirun]

The ads were supposed to start at the end of January, but yesterday I was watching a PBS Masterpiece show in 2 parts, and when it went from part 1 to part 2, it showed an ad for a sporting event on Prime. I could pause the ad but couldn't skip it & had to sit through the whole thing.

As a Prime member, I usually just buy whatever I need when I need it. But now, I think I will leave things in my cart until I get to the free shipping threshold, just to see how often I actually need free Prime shipping. Then I can figure out if it's worth it to keep Prime just for the shipping benefit, because the ads are going to keep me away from Prime Video.
