[When launched] Prime Video with ads was given a “very light ad load,” providing subscribers “gentle entry into advertising that has exceeded customers expectations in terms of what the ad experience would be like." The executive pointed out that Prime Video with ads doesn’t show commercials in the middle of content. That could change next year.
I’ll just pirate their shit. I’ll pirate it so hard and I’ll do it with both middle fingers in the air. But not literally, I would definitely need both hands to pirate their content.
We still need one person with a membership to download and post it all. Maybe we should start a fund to support their ever increasing membership costs…
Planned enshittification a la boiling frogs.
So regular TV is designed around the ads.
Cliff hangers before ads are done not only for the story, but to keep you there through the ad to get the outcome to the cliffhanger.
That partially went away with the no ad streaming.
Now that shitty behavior is going to come back.
Light my arse, from the start they’ve interrupted with adverts for their own crap making it barely tolerable. Even on the adfree tier.
Canceled and no intention of ever going back. Measuring your ad load by American standards doesn’t work when your competition is netflix and iPlayer.
That’s not even true, they interrupted episode 2 of Rings of Power for me.

So are executives born with an asshole where their mouth belongs or do they surgically put it on when you get the gig?
Humans, being deuterostomes, have an embryological stage where we are just anuses.
Some humans never develop past that.
