Amazon to Discontinue Freevee, Integrate Content with Prime Video
TL;DR Summary
Amazon is shutting down its free ad-supported streaming service, Freevee, to focus on integrating ad-supported content into its Prime Video platform. Originally launched as IMDb Freedive in 2019 and later rebranded as Freevee, the service allowed users to watch content without a subscription. Despite the closure, Amazon will continue to offer free streaming content, including Freevee originals, on Prime Video without requiring a subscription. The move aims to simplify the viewing experience and enhance ad sales on Prime Video.
