I was watching fallout when it released, and out of 8 episodes only 4 had ads, and the ads were 30 seconds long before the episode started, and then nothing after that.

I'm not excusing them injecting ads, but at least it's not like YouTube where it's completely random

I will simply never pay + ads. Free and ads... Ok. I'll fight you if your ads are obnoxious.

But, as soon as I'm paying for a service I will never accept even a 1sec ad.

You never had cable tv?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yes, 20 years ago. Not sure what idiotic point you're trying to make.

If you can't figure out their fairly obvious point maybe they're not the "idiotic" one champ.

Try again.

Just fyi, you can pay for ad free prime video. What is bundled with the rest of prime at no extra cost includes ads.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

No. I had prime. Then they raised the price. I was like ok... THEN they were like we need an extra 1.99 or you'll have to watch ads on top of the prime price.

That was the end of prime for me.
