Amazon Prime Video to Introduce Ads in India Starting June 17
Starting June 17, if you watch movies or shows on Amazon Prime Video in India, you'll see some ads every hour.
It will show 4-6 minutes of ads during each hour.
If you don't want to watch ads, you'll have to pay extra money on top of your current Prime membership fee.
Many people are not happy about this and are complaining online, some even using the hashtag #BoycottPrime.
They feel it's not right to pay for the service and still see ads.
Before, there were fewer ads.
Amazon Prime Video will start showing 4-6 minutes of ads per hour in India from June 17.
Users can opt-out of ads by paying an additional ₹129 per month or ₹699 per year.
This change has led to negative reactions and the hashtag #BoycottPrime on social media.
The previous ad time allotted was between 2 to 3.5 minutes.
Some users feel it's unfair to see ads despite paying for the service.
