I agree but ... why would they do that when the vast majority currently paying will keep paying and live with the ads. Those that won't will either cancel (based on the Netflix account sharing experience, this will be small) or pay the higher fee. There's no way they let people watch for free.

Amazon To Start Running Ads In Prime Video Series and Movies, Will Launch Ad-Free Tier For Extra Fee
The whole concept of the GOP legislature in FL passing whatever desantis wanted, just because he was expected to win the nomination, is insane. Now that he is unlikely to win, they are supposedly no longer doing 100% of what he wants. The complete absence of any sense of deliberative and principled representative democracy is so frustrating.
Interesting inside scoop, thank you. I look forward to them reducing the prime annual fee accordingly! ;-)
Amazon enshitification continues. The 2 day prime shipping expectation is already decaying, and now this.
I don't hear people arguing for everyone to be paid the top salary of the CEO. Maybe let's start with, I dunno, 20 dollars an hour minimum.
Yes, same take but with no need to mention her having dedicated her life to destroy the legitimacy of the Senate and the Judicial branch. Because she didn't do that, McConnell did, and continues to do so. Bottom line, The Nation says she needs to resign, just like McConnell needs to.
Select quotes:
"Two-thirds of Californians tell pollsters they think that Feinstein is unfit to stay as their senator. A majority of Democratic voters want her to resign. (I suspect, in their defense, that those who answer that they don’t want her to resign simply haven’t been reading the news about her state of acute unwellness.) Yet resign she won’t..."
"...because of Feinstein’s unfathomable stubbornness, for all intents and purposes California is down to only one fully functioning senator."
"I agree with GOP presidential hopeful Nikki Haley on almost nothing of political substance. But she’s not wrong when she says that aged political leaders ought to face regular mental competency tests, in the same way as elderly drivers have to regularly retake parts of the driving test to weed out those who have become too impaired to safely navigate the roadways. If there were such a competency test for politicians, Californians would almost certainly be getting ready, right about now, to welcome a replacement for their senior senator."
This is quite literally the literal eye of the storm, literally speaking.
The nature of their strike seems unclear but it would be appropriate to not do any work until the doors open on the plane and then cease working once they are open. The current time periods for which they are not paid.
There it is, buried in paragraph 26:
"He and his colleagues believe that the company's move was the result of workers' decision to unionize."
I'd argue this is not a valid "technology" topic, and is instead more about capitalism, workers' rights, etc.
