Prime members will, however, be able to subscribe to ad-free programming for an additional fee of $2.99/month.

I realize Jeff Bezos has bills to pay, along with a very costly divorce, but...c'mon, man!
When I first got cable (awhile ago) there were no ads. I paid so much per month and that was it.
