I've been getting a lot of mileage from this.
I have prime. I torrent their content anyway as they don’t play nice with vpn.
I'm proud to say I pirated the fallout show
I have Prime and still pirated it, because the website and app are such a mess
Inb4 "the pirates are destroying the industry"
Prime video could absolutely get worse, don't kid yourself.
I'm surprised they think this is useful... if I've paused a video it's because I'm answering the phone or front door, making a coffee, going for a shit etc... I'm almost never going to see these ads 🤷🏻♂️
Wow, what happened to paying for things supporting the product and not needing ads?
You're forgetting one important thing - Bezos needs more money! Line must go up. Always. At any cost.
I unsubbed from prime last year once the ads were announced on prime video.
There's no reason to have it anymore imo.
A VPN sub is like $40 a year and that lets me get any media I want.
Free Shipping without prime starts at orders over $35. Who doesn't spend at least $35 in 2024?
Looking more like the right decision i made to drop prime last year
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.
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.
