With the addition of ads for paying users, is there anything subscribers can do to protest? I hate ads with a passion.

Maybe separate all shipping items to cost them more? I’m not seeing many options other than cancellation

If you are forced to use them:

Do not use the app
Find what you want on the website
Copy the description with a reasonable amount of detail
Paste description into your less evil search engine of choice
Click through and buy

That way, Amazon has to pay the search engine.
