when I publish this video about my big
0:02
streaming predictions for the year I
0:04
talked more about ad supported plants
0:07
but there is something different about
0:09
Amazon Prime's upcoming plan with ads
0:11
let me explain flashback to October
0:14
2022. Netflix announced its plan with
0:16
ads which launched in November that year
0:19
for 6.99 a month about half the price of
0:22
Netflix's standard plan without ads and
0:25
other services have cheaper plans with
0:27
ads too including Max Hulu Paramount
0:30
plus and peacock with these Services the
0:33
ad supported plants are options that you
0:36
must choose in the case of Amazon Prime
0:37
video though when the plan with ads
0:40
launches everyone is going to see
0:41
commercials by default more details
0:44
according to this news release Amazon
0:45
says Prime video shows and movies will
0:48
include limited ads starting in early
0:51
2024. no specifics on how many ads per
0:54
hour yet but Amazon says we aim to have
0:57
meaningfully fewer ads than linear TV
1:00
and other streaming TV providers just
1:02
for some context Netflix is playing with
1:04
ads has about four to five minutes of
1:07
ads per hour people who live in the
1:09
United States will be among the first to
1:11
see ads on Prime video along with the UK
1:13
Germany and Canada and Amazon says it is
1:17
not changing the price of Prime in 2024
1:20
so unlike Netflix Amazon Prime video is
1:23
not offering a new and cheaper plan with
1:26
ads the price is staying the same and
1:28
you're getting ads there is going to be
1:31
a new option and this one is to remove
1:33
ads it'll be an extra 299 a month in the
1:36
United States keep an eye on your email
1:38
inbox Amazon says it's going to notify
1:40
customers a few weeks before ads come to
1:43
Prime video and that email will include
1:45
more details about the ad free option we
1:48
already know that ad supported plans are
1:51
good for business because streamers get
1:53
paid twice from consumers and also from
1:56
advertisers and that explains why Amazon
1:59
is rolling out the changes in this
2:01
manner most people who responded to my
2:03
poll said they won't pay more for the
2:05
new ad free Prime video but will you let
2:08
me know in the comments and find
2:10
streaming deals and more on
