Is there even anything worth watching on Prime? I haven’t even looked at it in years.
I quite like Reacher, most people like The Boys, I’ve heard good things about Good Omens.
Not with ads there isn’t.
Is [email protected] a real thing?
Edit: yes it is.
(or unless you stop paying at all)
Yarrrrrrrrr I do like this option, lad, lass, or other.
I have been meaning to cancel my Prime membership. Prices are high, shipping hardly gets anything to me on time. Who can find anything on Prime Video with their horrible interface? Not worth the price. Time to put on my pirate’s hat and save a buck.
It already does this. I frequently get ads for other shows when starting a show on Prime video. I can barely accept the existing ads.
I plan on cancelling Prime this year.
The only reason I haven’t is that my siblings need to use my account sometimes.
Ya know, I barely shop on Amazon anymore, I should go ahead and cancel that…
It’s already one of the worst streaming services, there’s nothing I care to watch on there and anything I do want that they have available costs money on top of the membership, plus the UI sucks.
It’s just cable tv all over again. Pay for 8 services to get a handful of shows you want to watch with the other 90% not being touched , now with ads creeping back in too .
And yet, people will fall for it again and again
Not me ! But not everyone has a PC that can store tons of movies and shows so they don’t have much other choice . There’s one streaming service that I think is only in Canada called crave that charges an extra $10 to watch on anything other than your phone it’s just the worst .
But not everyone has a PC
That’s a decision they’ve made for themselves. No sympathy. Computers are cheap, storage even cheaper.
Personal responsiblity
Portable HDD with pirated movies and shows FTW
NAS and Jellyfin when at home brother
They already fucking do.
They just pretend pre-roll trailers aren’t ads.
(Not trying to defend/excuse fking Amazon lol) They’re easy to skip, though. I imagine these will not be skippable.
Also, people have paid to have Plex play them trailers for years, as it gives a cinematic experience.
It’s not for me, an ad’s an ad.
I don’t understand why would I watch a trailer of the movie I’m about to watch. It doesn’t make any sense to me
The Plex feature is trailers for other movies, like when you go to the cinema.
When I had Plex play trailers, it was only ever before movies, with trailers for movies. Seeing it every time you watch an episode of a show is too much.
As far as I’m concerned skippable ads are the same thing as any other ad. I use auto play for a reason and it’s because I don’t want to fuck with the remote every episode.
If anything they are worse because they make you become aware enough of the ad to make the connection to physically push a button skip it. When HBO Minimum Quality added them I dropped it. When Paramount (We can’t build a functional app) + and Disney Pus (Not a typo) added them I finally built a media server and rejoined the high seas after 20 years. I’ll never go back.
Goddddddddd this and HBO. I’m already on your fuckin platform, show me the show. If you REALLY need to push whatever new BS cash grab you’ve got, put it in a new releases section.
if I have to hear about American football against my will, it’s a fucking ad
so… a $3 a month increase to prime.
one that will likely net amazon more profit when you don’t give-in and pay the extra (ads being more profitable than subs, as netflix has realized).
