Amazon Prime Video Ad Tier Sparks Class Action Lawsuit from Subscribers

Bundling should be regulated in general. It's similar to Microsoft 365 jacking up the prices by claiming they're adding more "value" with products / features no one asked for.

I use almost nothing else from Amazon besides free shipping (they used to have Amazon Music which was pretty good, but now they limited the number of skips); I watch The Boys but I'm sure it'd be cheaper to buy seasons / episodes a-la-carte.

For me that subscription comes with all of Microsoft Office, 1 TB storage, and ad free email for less than $6/month. I would never pay that little if those were delivered as three different services. I think Amazon Prime is a ripoff, but Microsoft 365 seems like a bad example of bundling gone wrong.

I was mostly talking about the Enterprise subscriptions (E3/E5) that CTOs really love getting for their employees. Glad to hear the home subscription provides good value to you.

While egregiously priced, E3/E5's value is in its security and related offerings (MDE/Purview).
