Nice I love it. We didn't stop ads years ago. Content creators deserve to be paid right guys. Right!!

Maybe the next Internet we can be more proactive. Whenever that is

I recently did the same on my jellyfin server. 100x the ads actually.

I'll do you one better. I'm upping the ads on mine by 1,000,000x.

Still less than cable/broadcast which runs fifteen to twenty minutes of ads per hour. Given time, I’m sure streaming will catch up.

Amazon is clearly struggling financially, and needs the revenue. Think of the starving investors!

Exactly, I miss more ads in my life*. Amazon is truly lacking.

You know what ? I’m starting a Jellyfin only to stream all the ads !

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?!

Arghhhhhh

If you wabt to pirate risk free, use Internetarchive.org. Didn't require a single download to watch 20 seasons of South Park.

Cable tv wasn’t invented to have zero ads . The original selling point of cable tv was to provide broadcast tv to those that couldn’t pick up OTA broadcasts.

Just a matter of time until you can't chose what to watch on the lowest tier, you have to follow their playlist of what you should watch.

And we have come full circle back to broadcast TV

The irony of streaming services

Maybe delete this. The archive is being viciously targeted and this screenshot could bite them in the ass

Is it a secret or something? I found it by googling the name of the first episode. First page of Google. Isn't labeled as South Park though.

If you make it only toonami ads I'm in tho

No but it's proven that the powers that be are taking screen shots from others as evidence. There was a case on reddit where this happened recently where people's screenshots admitting about IPTV was used as evidence

Are companies trying to get it banned or something? Prosecute users?

I think about this all the time. Kids today have no experience of the media without ads. Like we had commercials, but imagine Mr. Rogers stopping his show every 5 mins to sell you athletic greens and test boosters.

This image has a totally different context today then when it was first created

Anyways, these kids will grow up and make even worse and more annoying ads. They'll be the next Gen of marketing executives in a decade or two. There's nothing we can do about it.

In rare cases, yes
