The only one I get charged tax on in NY is Prime. All the other ones are no tax which is frankly shocking for NY.

I'm watching Perry Mason (Paramount Plus) time and time again then all of a sudden Amazon Prime has me watching Perry Mason with Freevee(with their fricking ads) when I can watch it ad free with Paramount Plus.

Please Amazon Prime don't mix tv shows and movies and have everything Amazon Prime stand out at the top before the other pay channels.

It seems like Amazon Prime has already started introducing ads. The promos(ads) at the start of a show were skip-able but lately not always. Especially annoying to me is that the football ones with some jerk mugging are never skip-able. Even more annoying is that subscription rate are going up to pay for this crap.

There's a number of "ad-free" tiers on streamers that still show commercials for their programming. Paramount + does it, and Apple TV does it as well.
