- In early 2024, viewing Amazon Prime's Video offerings will will not be as pleasant for many as they used to be. Amazon has decided to advertise during many shows and movies. No real surprise, other streaming offerings have been doing this for a while now. For a $2.99 monthly payment however, viewers can skip this mild hardship.
- Several retailers have decided to up the date for holiday shopping deals to the first week or 2 of October 2023. Following Amazon's announcement of "Prime Big Deal Days", Walmart and Target have released similar plans as well, all kicking off the week of Oct. 1st. Best Buy, Target and Walmart have also decided to up the date for their holiday deals to the first half of October as well. And make no mistake, Amazon was probably the primary driver for this new holiday flood, pushing the others to move up their dates as well, in the name of self preservation I would guess. Think about it, Amazon is a mammoth force of retail efficiency and product volume, I would guess they will come out ahead despite the competition following their lead. Check those stores online to see deals and start dates.
