This is the best summary I could come up with:

In Prime Video's case, pausing the program will bring up "a translucent ad featuring brand messaging and imagery, along with an 'Add to Cart' and 'Learn More'" overlay, per Amazon.

On the other hand, Amazon has not released research publicly on how much constant ad viewing can impact the user experience or interest in a streaming service.

Still, Amazon claimed today that Prime Video ads reach an average of 200 million people monthly.

The Hub Entertainment Media survey claims that Amazon has a higher ad-based to ad-free ratio of subscribers than all other video streaming services examined, including Netflix, Max, and Hulu.

Like all streamers, Amazon is toeing a fine line between using ads to boost the average revenue it makes per user and aggravating subscribers to the point of cancellation.

Amazon is already facing a lawsuit regarding ads on Prime Video that seeks class-action certification and was filed by people who purchased annual subscriptions.

The original article contains 714 words, the summary contains 155 words. Saved 78%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Yeah I already know about this. Also as a long time prime subscriber we have had ads longer than you'd expect. It first started as ads for Amazon products and also previews for other Amazon shows. It doesn't surprise me that there are pause screen ads now like other streaming services.

Mmhmmm.

If I'm being honest, I can handle an ad in my pause menu as long as it doesn't interfere with the rest of operating the device. If I can unpause and reach the closed captioning or audio menu, fine, whatever. What really gets my goat is pre-roll and mid-roll ads. Can't stand them.

Did everyone not just pirate this series? It seems like Game of Thrones level pirate content, who would pay for that.

Hold on, I gotta watch a Charmin commercial before my toilet 🚽 will flush for me....you know, my toilet that I purchased for my restroom. ....it's coming, laugh now but you, know it! Cha-cha-cha! Charmin!

I wish the high seas had better quality. So much isn't available in 4k at least in the waters I've checked out.

im pretty sure I have already seen this.

Amazon Prime is absolute dogshit anyway. Fallout wasn’t even that good, I don’t know why it got such a warm reception. Probably because people had such low hopes for it. Rings of Power was a billion dollar investment and only 30% of people finished the whole series.
