I'm supposed to pay them so that they can make more money off me? Uh... No. No, I'm good.
I keep forgetting that I have Amazon video.
It's trash.
It's one of my favorite streaming services. The Grand tour, Clarkson's farm, the boys, marvelous Mrs maisel, the wheel of time, that lotr series, peripheral. They have a decent catalogue. Plus it's "free" because I get prime for shipping.
Id probably ask my buddy for access to his Plex if they add ads. I already get annoyed that they show me stuff I'd have to pay extra for in the same screen as the prime content.
They already show ads though. Just for their own content after every episode.
It's made me stop using their service because it's annoying enough as it is.
Also those make me despise the advertised show and refuse to watch it already.
Prime is still worth it to me for the free shipping, but I won't be watching their video if I have to watch ads and I certainly won't be paying extra for the privilege of not having to watch them.

I was contemplating to subscribe to Prime as they have some interesting (for me) exclusive stuff, but was hesitating to add just another subscription.
Thank you, Amazon, to make the decision so easy - if even a paid subscription is riddled with ads, it is a 100% no-buy for me.
Crappy move Amazon. Real crappy
