TheNewGirl 1,347 Posted September 20, 2024 I will say, I did participate in a class action against a major pharmaceutical company after I had a pulmonary embolism in 2011. I got way more than $5.23. Allowed us to move and buy a new house. However, I almost died. And other people in the class action actually did die and had family suing on their behalf. So, if you're willing to put your life on the line for Amazon Prime, go for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote Some Prime Video customers are understandably confused at why they are still seeing ads in the Prime Video app even though they signed up for the extra $2.99 per month ad-free plan. That’s because content from Freevee, Prime Video Channels, and live sporting events, which can all be viewed from within the Prime Video app, all contain ads that are not removed when subscribing to the $2.99 per month plan. While these are all video streams that are accessed through Prime Video in some way, they are considered separate from the free content included with a Prime subscription and, therefore, continue to show ads. I guess you don’t understand what you paid for. you should learn how to read before you sign a contract. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
