    If everyone who complained about ads in Prime and Netflix canceled their accounts, then Prime and Netflix would be motivated to remove their ads.

      The minute I got the prime notification I went and canceled immediately. And same with Netflix, I wish more people would do the same.

      Wouldn’t this also cause them to charge more to make up for lost paying customers? 🤔

        Certainly possible, but there is a limit to what they can charge before losing customers on price as well as on principle.

      I did for Prime.

      Netflix didn’t put ads in for me, since I was already on the “4K” plan. Didn’t they just throw in an even lower tier for their ad version?
