AMZN

NFLX

Amazon Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) is facing a potential class action lawsuit for introducing commercials to its Prime Video service, which was previously advertised as ad-free. The lawsuit, filed in California, accuses Amazon of breaching contracts and violating consumer protection laws by charging an extra $2.99 per month to skip ads. Unlike Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX), which offers ad-based subscriptions as a cheaper option, Amazon added ads to its base subscription and charged more for an ad-free experience. The lawsuit seeks class-action status, an injunction against charging for ad-free content, and restitution for affected subscribers. Morgan Stanley estimates that Prime Video ads could generate $5.2 billion annually.
