Canceled. And long overdue I’ll admit
Start? In the UK here and it has always had ads. Even on paid
No it doesn't, it runs a trailer for something else before but I've never had ads mid program
Yeah we get that in the great white north. A immediately Skippable ad for a different show on prime. That is fine by me, however ads like on so many other services will mean I cancel and Maybe setup a plex.

Sail the seven seas!
Even though I don't have Prime, Amazon's moves are making other sites more attractive. Walmart has been pretty good recently, offering 2-3 day shipping at no additional cost in my experience, along with a better app UI/UX. Now that Amazon has upped the minimum for free shipping, the only edge it holds over Walmart is the wider selection.
We rarely watch anything on Prime except for a few original shows like Upload and Reacher. Prime Video is usually an afterthought.

My membership is up in a week or so. I was looking into the Walmart equivalent as a replacement, but they've proven to be even worse. I don't know where to go from here.
I'm not a daily Amazon user. Maybe one or two orders per month. But when I need those things, they can be tough to find at brick and mortar.
You can cancel Prime and keep your Amazon account. A lot of stuff still ships for free on orders of more than $25.

Hoist the sails.
Are there any videos/guides to set up a Usenet for dummies? Asking for a friend of mine.
Look up "trash guides" for the *arr programs. I use Sabnzbd, Prowlarr, Sonarr, Radarr, Recyclarr, Jellyseerr, and Jellyfin. All in docker containers on their own vlan. Lemme know if you need any help.

Aye matey! In fact, they're are entire communities right here in the Lemmyverse all about sailing the digital seas!
Kind of interesting what can be done without the oversight of corporate overlords and monied interests.
