I’d seen rumours online but got the email this morning.
EDIT: seems like there won’t be ads for everyone straight away.
- Live events, such as sports, and content offered through Amazon Freevee will continue to include advertising. Customers in the Republic of Ireland, Channel Islands, and Isle of Man won’t see ads in their experience at this time.
Jokes on them, we unsubscribed last month lol
Are the ads to fuel future shows, or to recoup losses from the abhorrent money pit that is Rings of Power?
Wait til they find out I’m happy to pay nothing and still get the same content (often with less hassle).
All these streaming services seem to have forgotten that piracy is incredibly easy and a lot of use chose to use their services because they were originally convenient and affordable. Now that they’re more fractured than ever and way more expensive, why would I bother?
I remember not too long ago, maybe 4 or 5 years, I was having a big argument on reddit and getting killed for giving out about Prime’s ads between episodes… I’d completely forgotten about them until now. They used to promote their other shows with 30 second ads between episodes and reddit, or at least wherever I was, were absolutely cool with it.
We all need to write to the companies in the ads and tell them we’re boycotting them for their participation in this scheme.
Make advertising with Prime a bad idea
