So I'm not here to like defend Amazon or anything, but what are you talking about? Prime, imo, has definitely been getting a bit better in terms of content lately. The only stuff that has commercial ads in it as far as I'm aware are the pseudo-live TV channels they recently started streaming, and the content provided by "freevee" if said content isn't also under the prime label. This is all assuming you pay for a prime account, idk what the service is like if you're accessing it for free to begin with.
Yea I've got Prime. I actually use the shipping and never really liked the video service. My husband however loves watching their stuff and we're currently doing a rewatch of The Boys, which has been terribly painful with all the commercial interruptions. I'm not paying extra for add free. We were watching an episode last night and turned it off at the commercial break and watch YouTube of all things instead. Seriously though seeing a count of Ads 1 of 6 at the top of the screen was just too much.
...what?
I've been sailing around too long I guess, but six ads? In one commercial break? What in the hell are they doing.
Like, that's worse than broadcast TV, which is you know, free. As in not something you're paying for.
yes this is driving me nuts.... ads on a streaming service that I pay for?!?! And then they have the balls to also increase pricing! But wait... you can still have add-free... if you pay more... how convenient....
