Goddddddddd this and HBO. I'm already on your fuckin platform, show me the show. If you REALLY need to push whatever new BS cash grab you've got, put it in a new releases section.

if I have to hear about American football against my will, it's a fucking ad

(Not trying to defend/excuse fking Amazon lol) They're easy to skip, though. I imagine these will not be skippable.

Also, people have paid to have Plex play them trailers for years, as it gives a cinematic experience.

It's not for me, an ad's an ad.

I don't understand why would I watch a trailer of the movie I'm about to watch. It doesn't make any sense to me

[–] ted@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

The Plex feature is trailers for other movies, like when you go to the cinema.

When I had Plex play trailers, it was only ever before movies, with trailers for movies. Seeing it every time you watch an episode of a show is too much.

As far as I'm concerned skippable ads are the same thing as any other ad. I use auto play for a reason and it's because I don't want to fuck with the remote every episode.

If anything they are worse because they make you become aware enough of the ad to make the connection to physically push a button skip it. When HBO Minimum Quality added them I dropped it. When Paramount (We can't build a functional app) + and Disney Pus (Not a typo) added them I finally built a media server and rejoined the high seas after 20 years. I'll never go back.
