Amazon Doubles Prime Video Ads Per Hour

  I’ll be quitting after my wife finishes her series. I had noticed it is getting worse. Plus, unless I screwed up somehow, that $2.99 no-adverts charge appeared without any action on our part. We cancelled and went back to the cheaper version. It really bugs me that a company making money hand over fist finds it necessary to fuck their customers over unless they pay even more.

    It should be illegal to do what these companies are doing.

    Amazon send you randomly start subscriptions. And then you think you’re crazy and did something stupid but I’m pretty sure they’re just evil. I have been subscribed to Audible multiple times and I have never listened to an audiobook in my life.

  Still less than cable/broadcast which runs fifteen to twenty minutes of ads per hour. Given time, I’m sure streaming will catch up.

    Just a matter of time until you can’t chose what to watch on the lowest tier, you have to follow their playlist of what you should watch.

    And we have come full circle back to broadcast TV

  I noticed paramount+ was included in a subscription service my wife has. I setup an account, loaded the app found a show to watch. Made it threw 3 episodes decided to pirate the show instead because the commercials were to annoying.

  I find it hard to get too upset about this since Prime Video is just a throw-in bonus that I’m not paying for. Even if it didn’t exist I’d still be subscribed to Amazon Prime.

      Why not? Because I don’t care about ads in a service that’s just thrown in as a bonus to a service I already pay for and would still pay for even if they got rid of it?

      What’s that got to do with freedom?
