Some time ago i found a old VHS of karate kid that i recorded. That was on free open tv and the commercials were super short. And i think two for the whole movie.
I downloaded some trash tv like 60 day fiancee, and it was accidentally an episode where they left the commercials in. That was the most insane shit i have ever seen. They streched a 45min show into a 1 1/2 hour show. With the same pharma commercials over and over all the goddamn time and then the recap after every commercial. This shit has to rot your brain in some capacity.

I'm really torn here. Like people complain when superman flies through an ihop or there are billboards. But they make it more grounded. My problem is that they frame it like a commercial. Or world war z where brad pit is drinking every pepsi(?) or Heineken(?) like it was a commercial. In one of these godaweful tranformers movies, they just show products in a way that is so disgusting not even an actual commercial would do it.

It's crazy how much money that cunt makes for the shittiest movies imaginable. Somehow people like that guy too.

I've had the same thoughts about people who watch free to air TV. Between the same set of ads every ad break, and the frankly dubious quality of the programming, it has to be contributing to some type of cognitive decline.

Actually for my kids at least it's different. They're so used to ad blocked YouTube and ad-free Netflix. That when the adblocker fails for whatever reason they get first delighted to see something new and very soon after annoyed at having to see that shit all the time and cry for someone to help them.

We watch regular TV so little. The other day we didn't have internet for several hours, maybe a few days. That's when we discovered that the TV is actually too far away to reach the cable of the satellite dish.

I think a lot of it is a MAD scenario.

I find it hard to get too upset about this since Prime Video is just a throw-in bonus that I'm not paying for. Even if it didn't exist I'd still be subscribed to Amazon Prime. The only thing I really used Prime Video for, even when it didn't have ads, was to find movies to add to Overseerr.

Fuck them, I'm not paying for ads, let alone paying more for more ads. I already got rid of my prime months ago, I need to stop supporting amazon anyway.

doubles Prime Video piracy per hour

Pirated content of course has no advertising in it, so it makes sense to pay good money for a service that has adverts in it or how else am I going to learn about all those fabulous products I just have to buy?

Trying to recoup the lost from spending too much on ROp series

Streaming costs billions a year for each service out there. Paramount has to cut its losses by cancelling shows, and Amazon with ROP draining so much

Name does not check out

that's why I stopped watching prime video movies

They can crash on my couch, if they need to.

They’re doing you a service, really, when you think about it. Out of the goodness of their hearts.

My parents watch this tripe on DirecTV. I can confirm the cognitive decline theory with direct evidence.

Just steal it. If its an amazon original, they will cancel it after 2 seasons anyway.

I’m bored with him. But The Rundown is an awesome and underrated flick.
