[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.

Planned enshittification a la boiling frogs.

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.

Pretty sure you can be a decent pirate with a hook for a hand buddy. Don’t let your dreams be dreams!
