Amazon's Prime Video recently introduced advertisements that cannot be avoided unless members pay an extra $3 per month to bypass them. This move, which made Prime Video one of the most expensive entertainment streaming services out there, upset a number of people and has now prompted a group to propose a class-action lawsuit against the giant.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, a proposed class-action lawsuit filed in California federal court included claims of breach of contract and a breaking of consumer protection laws. Whereas some services like Netflix and Disney+ have introduced dedicated tiers of their streaming services with advertisements, Amazon introduced ads for the existing plan. As mentioned, the only way to bypass them is to spend $3 more.

Amazon announced its plans for the ads in 2023 and then rolled out the changes in January.
