Glad I dropped prime 1.5 years ago. I'll never pay monthly for something with ads. If I pay monthly for software, it better treat me like royalty.
Not surprised at all lol I am tempted to just start using Jellyfin and shop from sites that don't do this to their "premium" users.
I’ll stay subbed but I wont be seeing the ads, matey.
I unsubbed years ago.
Yo ho, yo ho....
The song has been sung...
Wait... I already now get annoying ads in the middle of watching a show. Now they want to add more ads to Prime Video? That's absolutely ridiculous.
I have prime. I torrent their content anyway as they don’t play nice with vpn.
Adverts are inevitable, these companies cannot help themselves. The temptation to double dip... A subscription from stupid saps and money from advertising. Soon the ads will creep into the other subscription tiers.
Piracy and ad blocking is the only escape.
Spending all that time and money setting up my homeserver is looking better and better every day...
Yep. Just ordered 4 12tb hdds for a zfs setup
I plan to recoup the cost in cancelled subscriptions.
I'm proud to say I pirated the fallout show
I have Prime and still pirated it, because the website and app are such a mess
Our research shows that we can fill up to 80% of the visual field with ads before we induce seizures!
Pioneering a technique to insert ads into the middle of your seizures so we don't have to worry about going over 80%
With the Amazon Alexa equipped with the GM-AL Vision System, we can time the ads between vision lapses and achieve nearly 95% ad prevalence in 91% of Prime subs.
With the Extended View VR headset equipped with new eye-opening visuals we are seeing 98% percent ad observation with only a 23% hospitalization rate for blindness and numbness of the zygomatic nerve.
Both the Amazon Alexa with GM-AL and Extended View headset will be available for $99.99 and $249.99, or $49.99 and $149.99 with a prime subscription, this next fiscal quarter.
Just imagine. If you install Amazon video on an external streaming device and hook it up to a new Roku TV, you could get the pleasure of looking at multiple layers of Pause screen ads.
