It's already one of the worst streaming services, there's nothing I care to watch on there and anything I do want that they have available costs money on top of the membership, plus the UI sucks.

They already fucking do.

They just pretend pre-roll trailers aren't ads.

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

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.

(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.

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.

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 2 years ago

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

i only use it because it comes with Prime, which I do use, quite a bit.

I love Bosch, but since they made it Bosch legacy with ads I started pirating it. and I have prime.

[–] Karlos_Cantana@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Is there even anything worth watching on Prime? I haven't even looked at it in years.

[–] Ookami38@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Not with ads there isn't.

I quite like Reacher, most people like The Boys, I've heard good things about Good Omens.
