Chillaxin' With Prime Video: Tips to Dodge Those Annoying Ads
Ever wondered, "Why am I still seeing ads when I pay for Amazon Prime Video?" Well, since February 2024, Prime Video subscribers have been forced to endure ads while streaming their favorite shows. But don't fret, here are some cunning hacks to bypass those pesky ads without shelling out extra dough.
Going Offline is the Move
If you're streaming on your iOS, Android, or desktop devices, you can snatch many Prime Video content and catch up on them offline, ad-free. Just download your favorite episodes or seasons using the app, and voila! You can watch your favorite series or films without any interruptions. Remember, you can download up to two devices at a time.
Child's Play
Another tactic is to switch to a kids profile on Prime Video. Amazon confirms that those streaming via a kids profile won't see any ads. However, there's a catch: only kid-friendly content can be accessed, and buying stuff is out of the question. So, grab your popcorn and settle in for anything rated up to 12 – sorry, "The Boys" fans, you're out of luck.
Tread Carefully with VPN
In theory, you can fool Prime Video into thinking you're in another country by using a VPN. This could also dodge those ads, as Amazon doesn't show any inserts to customers in some European countries. Just remember, using a VPN is generally allowed in Germany, but streaming providers tend to frown upon it. Prime Video's terms of use prohibit using technologies that hide or mask your location. Overstepping the line might lead to an account block, so proceed with caution.
Now, if you're serious about ad-free streaming, you might want to consider alternative services like MagellanTV[1], which offers ad-free documentaries for a one-time payment. It's more of an upfront investment, but you'll enjoy uninterrupted viewing.
In short, using a kids profile, going offline, or perhaps experimenting with a VPN are your best bets to dodge ads on Prime Video. Just bear in mind that using unauthorized methods might violate service agreements and could result in account restrictions. If you're willing to pay a bit extra, Amazon offers an official ad-free experience in certain regions[3][4]. Happy streaming!
