Piracy is going to be as popular as ever.
Why is it that these fucks get to increase their price and just to offer shittier service but if I want a raise at my job I’ve got to go above and beyond?
Technically, no. The last few have been significantly below either measure of inflation. So in real terms, I’ve had a wage cut!
[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.
So are executives born with an asshole where their mouth belongs or do they surgically put it on when you get the gig?
Light my arse, from the start they’ve interrupted with adverts for their own crap making it barely tolerable. Even on the adfree tier.
Canceled and no intention of ever going back. Measuring your ad load by American standards doesn’t work when your competition is netflix and iPlayer.

So regular TV is designed around the ads.
Cliff hangers before ads are done not only for the story, but to keep you there through the ad to get the outcome to the cliffhanger.
That partially went away with the no ad streaming.
Now that shitty behavior is going to come back.

Of course not. Streaming sites are far too lazy for that. They’ll just cram the commercial into the middle of the show with no regard for the story. It’s the only way they’ll be able to put ads in the middle of shows not made to have ads.
That’s not even true, they interrupted episode 2 of Rings of Power for me.
What did they interrupt the episode for? Because a number of companies have adopted the policy that, if the interruption is promoting something else offered by the platform - say, a different program, or another tier of service - that those interruptions aren’t really ads, because the company isn’t actually getting paid to air it. It absolutely looks and acts like an ad to the viewers, but the companies are trying to redefine the word.

That’s a blatant lie, it definitely does.
Copying my reply to someone else:

What do they even have that’s worth watching? It’s mostly garbage unless you’re into critical role. The boys shows? Oh no my poor hard drive space is going to be swamped with prime video mkvs lol
Well, guess it’s time to get an eye patch and a pet parrot
