Yeah I don't use prime video but as soon as I saw they were going to add ads, that opens the door for them to make their app shitty as hell.

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.

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 dont like it, but I can deal with ads while paused. But its also just an entry point for them to see how much they can sneak it. Its becoming cable TV all over again, with ads making their way in, despite paying for the service.
Ill just give the Amazon products that are advertised 1 star reviews. Enough people start doing that maybe we can do what helldiver did.

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.
