I'm old, so many may not relate. I remember when the big selling point of this newfangled "cable TV" thing was zero ads. Can you imagine that?

Yeah, I have Prime for the savings on shipping. Got the Kodi addon for watching Prime, never used it except to watch The Expanse a few years ago. Would have been fucking enraged if I had seen ads cut into that. Fuck am I paying for?!

I have Prime too for shopping mainly. I also can't use Prime Video because it refuses to go beyond 480p on Firefox for Linux (Atleast last time I tried).
