Prime Video to Soon Include Ads , Unless You Pay More.
In a press release on Sept. 22, Amazon announced plans to start including "limited advertisements"
on Prime Video, The Verge reports.

The ads will first roll out in the U.S., U.K., Canada and Germany in "early 2024.".
Later that year, Australia, France,
Italy, Mexico and Spain will also get ads.
In the U.S., Prime members who want to remain
free of ads will have to pay another $2.99 a month
on top of their current subscription price.
Currently, Prime members pay
$14.99 a month or $139 a year.

Amazon's decision to introduce ads to the platform comes just a few months after the company laid off another 9,000 employees in an attempt to cut costs, The Verge reports.

On Sept. 19, Amazon announced that it will hire 250,000 people to keep up with the holiday rush, CNBC reports.

more than the 150,000 workers the
company said it would hire last year. .

Hourly wages will be between $17 and $28.

workers will receive $20.50 an hour.

stem from a $440 million investment
into the third-party delivery program.
This is going directly to DSPs, so that they
can offer competitive pay to their employees,
and build and retain great teams, Beryl Tomay, Amazon’s vice president of
last mile delivery and technology, via CNBC.
