As many of you may already know, Amazon Prime Video has announced that starting February 5, 2024, it will include “limited” advertising in movies and shows for Canadian residents.
LifeVancouver staff also frequently use Amazon Prime Video, and the other day, on January 2nd, we received an email with the following content.
As mentioned above, it has been decided that limited ads will be displayed from February 5th, but you can turn off ads by paying an additional $2.99 per month. It’s currently unclear how “limited” it will be, so even if you don’t want to see ads, it might be a good idea to wait until February 5th.
Prime Video users in the US are scheduled to start seeing ads from January 29, 2024, a little earlier than in Canada, and the UK and Germany are also eligible for ads.
