Other streaming services have already raised their prices for ad-free content this year. Disney recently announced price increases for both Disney+ and Hulu, with each service going up by $3. Peacock and Max have also increased their prices earlier this year, indicating a concerning trend for the entire streaming industry.
With the introduction of Prime Video's new ad-free tier, viewers will have to pay an additional $2.99 per month to watch upcoming releases like The Boys season 4 without ads. This raises questions about the current profitability of streaming services, as many of them are opting for price hikes. Depending on the urgency of investors to see certain services become profitable, more price increases may be on the horizon.
The future of streaming remains uncertain due to the removal of original streaming movies and TV shows from platforms such as Disney+, Hulu, and Paramount+. With numerous price adjustments and content removals occurring, the implications for the streaming industry as a whole are unclear. However, one thing that is certain is that Prime Video is now following the footsteps of other services by raising the prices of their ad-free content going forward.
