I think I’ve had 2 one month free primes, and 1 free week of prime, so far this year. Of course I take it, and burden their servers by leaving shit streaming as often as I can, with absolutely no return on investment for them.
They show ads unless you pay for the super plus version of Prime. So by streaming they get ad revenue from the companies advertising even if you don’t watch the ads. The companies pay for the ads by increasing the price of what they sell- and they don’t sell only on Amazon but everywhere.
So when you buy a bag of chips at the local store, some of that money is going to Amazon because you had their streaming on.
What is doing more harm to the environment is people paying for prime, and giving amazon the money to build more data centers, and to drain more drinking water supplies to cool them. 🙄
Amazon gives out free prime all the time.

I don’t recall ever seeing an add on prime videos.
Then again, I don’t dip my internet wick without protection, either.
Isn’t that doing more harm to the environment than you then? I appreciate the sentiment tho
No.
