I'm "funding" Amazon with my payment of $128.52 a year. Amazon offers most movies for free, but for some, there is a rental fee. Now it seems there is a third category. I'd like to know what to expect before I start watching. YouTube keeps interrupting with very short ads, but that's okay.
tl;dr: It might not be Amazon's content you are watching, it might just be ported into the platform.
If you don't like their business model of cross-platform operability in their Prime setup, then discontinue "funding" them. I provided a reason you may be seeing commercials in content you find in Prime. I for one enjoy the search feature and the ability to not have to jump around to 20 different software programs when I'm looking for something.
