I’d seen rumours online but got the email this morning.

EDIT: seems like there won’t be ads for everyone straight away.

  • Live events, such as sports, and content offered through Amazon Freevee will continue to include advertising. Customers in the Republic of Ireland, Channel Islands, and Isle of Man won’t see ads in their experience at this time.

How does a VPN give you access to shows on Amazon that require Prime? Or do you mean it'll just give you access to more shows than you'd have otherwise?

like the other poster said it doesnt give you access to amazon's shows on amazon's site. Helpful pirates all over the world tirelessly upload "amazon's" content to the grand line. When I tell people about a show I'm loving it's always an interesting conversation when they ask me 'what service is it on?' and i straight up have no idea.

perhaps you already know this, but if you don't, MOST pirate streaming sites have everything from every service right there in a searchable webpage that looks like (usually a discount version but sometimes superior) a paid streaming site.

It's not even cope to say they are generally easier to navigate and search than the services you have to PAY for. All you need is ublock origin <---(non-negotiable) and you have access to a superior service IMMEDIATELY.

No disgusting UI trying to make you watch other shite that is clearly a failure.

No scrolling threw pages down to just get down to the "continue watching" section.

No advert between each episode that isn't an "ad" screaming the same scene for their next original failure.

No shite algorithm recommending me the next show I'm clearly not interested in

oh yeah and what about about the "because you watched" section of hilariously off-base suggestions! (which is probably really just a disguised point 1 of your post)

Which oceanic locales would one recommend? I've been too long shorebound and many of my navigational charts are outdated.

The VPN is to shield yourself from DMCA (in the US, of course) while you sail the high seas.

Clean access to content from all streaming services, Ad free and cheaper than a standard Prime Subscription.

Not to mention the broader positive that people getting used to accessing the Internet behind a VPN also screws the Surveillance State we now have in many supposedly democratic nations (remember to switch exit points once in a while).

Even more entertaining, trying to weaken or forbidding VPNs will totally screw lots of really big companies (which use it for allowing their employees to securelly access their networks remotelly) and well as the basis of secure consumer access to financial services, so it's going to be pretty hard to stop this (notice miserable failure of the UK - pretty much the biggest surveillance state that claims to be democratic - at trying to forbid this stuff over there).

Probably meant in the context of hiding your piracy activities.
