I'm old, so many may not relate. I remember when the big selling point of this newfangled "cable TV" thing was zero ads. Can you imagine that?

Yeah, I have Prime for the savings on shipping. Got the Kodi addon for watching Prime, never used it except to watch The Expanse a few years ago. Would have been fucking enraged if I had seen ads cut into that. Fuck am I paying for?!

I recently did the same on my jellyfin server. 100x the ads actually.

Amazon is clearly struggling financially, and needs the revenue. Think of the starving investors!

Also be aware that Amazon donated one million dollars to the Trump inauguration and is a sponsor of the Jun 14 military parade.

Just steal it. If its an amazon original, they will cancel it after 2 seasons anyway.

And I double my piracy. Checkmate, corporations.

Get the pirate hats ready, we are sailing the high seas ☠️🏴‍☠️

Oi Ue, it's fooking diabolical mate. Omelander topped me wife and now more ads on the tele, diabolical.

It's like they want me to sail the high seas

Fuck them, I'm not paying for ads, let alone paying more for more ads. I already got rid of my prime months ago, I need to stop supporting amazon anyway.

Nice I love it. We didn't stop ads years ago. Content creators deserve to be paid right guys. Right!!

Maybe the next Internet we can be more proactive. Whenever that is

That's why I cancelled my Prime subscription. After that, Amazon randomly re started my Prime subscription, twice; that's why I deleted my Amazon account.

Gotta pay for all those crappy movies they make starring Dwayne Johnson.

doubles Prime Video piracy per hour

Pirated content of course has no advertising in it, so it makes sense to pay good money for a service that has adverts in it or how else am I going to learn about all those fabulous products I just have to buy?

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

You guys get ads on Prime?

Farewell Amazon videos. Oh, and I'm trying to do all my shopping NOT on Amazon. Fuck bezos, trump, and all the other orange butthole sucking fat cats.

I have been cancelling subscriptions to Trump supporting companies since January. I was on a yearly sub with Amazon.

Thanks for the reminder to cancel..........

........ cancelled.

Amazon funded Trump's inauguration, they've doubled their advertisements, they mistreat their warehouse workers, for people who don't use Amazon often you're paying more money than you'd spend on just paying for shipping on the occasion you need fast shipping or if you don't need fast shipping you can still get free shipping if your order is more than the threshold which I think depends on your account might be $25 or $35.

Given all these things I really hope no one is subscribing to Amazon prime. I'd highly recommend anyone who uses Amazon prime to cancel it. Being shown advertisements on something you're paying for is insane. This should be the final straw for any Amazon Prime customer.

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.

Good thing I cancelled prime along with all my subscriptions and accounts with US companies just after Trump was elected.

I cancelled the moment they put ads in the plan I had been paying for. Don’t miss it for a second. Not even prime shipping.

Glad I cancelled Prime some time ago. Haven't missed it and I usually get free shipping anyway by buying elsewhere. I'll even pay more to avoid Amazon.

"I can't see ads!"

Awesome, now piracy can also double!

Do you know how many ads are on Jellyfin?

Pray I do not double them again. And again, and again....

Literally, ads infinitum
