According to Gizmodo, ads on Prime Video signify "the end of an era in streaming.".

The implementation of the new structure means that the five biggest U.S. streaming services each have ads now.

The last few years have seen Netflix, Disney+, Paramount+ and Max introduce ads as well.

Gizmodo reports that streamers can really only keep growing by raising subscription prices and introducing ads, so that's what they're doing.

.

Apple TV+ is one of the last major services that doesn't have ads, Gizmodo reports.

As streaming becomes more costly and filled with advertisements, studios are investing less in additional content.

.

In 2023, Netflix produced 130 fewer shows compared to 2022, according to 'Bloomberg.'.

Trump Promises to Stop , All Electric Car Sales. In an effort to be reelected as President of the Unites States. Trump is promising oil and gas execs that he'll keep electric vehicles (EVs) from being sold in the U.S. if they make significant donations to his campaign, Gizmodo reports. . Trump said that he'd lower tailpipe emissions targets and cut EV tax credits, among other things. . "You won't be able to sell those cars," Trump said.

Although, his tactics could prove to slow those sales dramatically. . Ford Motor executive chair William Clay Ford Jr. weighed in on Trump's promises. Our time frame as a company, our planning time frame, is a lot longer than election cycles, William Clay Ford Jr., via statement.
