Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens West window, Mr. Aviation, Alejandro86, OC_Formula for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, September 23 (Xinhua)-- Amazon's official website announced that Prime Video will add advertising in the United States, Britain, Germany and Canada at the beginning of 2024, and then expand to France, Italy, Spain, Mexico and Australia.

Amazon will not adjust the price of Prime members next year, and will offer a new ad-free option for Prime members in the United States, paying an additional $2.99 per month (CTOnews.com Note: currently about 22 yuan), and will later share pricing in other countries. A few weeks before advertising was introduced to Prime Video, Amazon sent emails to Prime members telling them how to register for the no-ad option.

It is worth mentioning that even if the advertising-free service is launched, live events such as sporting events will continue to include advertisements.

It is understood that Amazon Prime members who currently pay $14.99 a month (currently about RMB109) can enjoy Prime Video services, or they can choose to pay $8.99monthly (currently about RMB66) to subscribe separately.
