The irony of streaming services
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

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.
Name does not check out

Amazon is clearly struggling financially, and needs the revenue. Think of the starving investors!
They can crash on my couch, if they need to.

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

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

I'll be quitting after my wife finishes her series. I had noticed it is getting worse. Plus, unless I screwed up somehow, that $2.99 no-adverts charge appeared without any action on our part. We cancelled and went back to the cheaper version. It really bugs me that a company making money hand over fist finds it necessary to fuck their customers over unless they pay even more.

Amazon seems to randomly start subscriptions. And then you think you’re crazy and did something stupid but I’m pretty sure they’re just evil. I have been subscribed to Audible multiple times and I have never listened to an audiobook in my life.

He's made some genuinely good stuff though, Jumanji was far better than I ever expected.

That's why I cancelled my Prime subscription. After that, Amazon randomly re started my Prime subscription, twice; that's why I deleted my Amazon account.

Also be aware that Amazon donated one million dollars to the Trump inauguration and is a sponsor of the Jun 14 military parade.

Piracy, pirate and remember if you want to be free then a pirates life is the life for me.

The worst was Tony Stark pulling up like the movie was a car commercial in Endgame. That was pathetic.

It should be illegal to do what these companies are doing.

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.
imagine Mr. Rogers stopping his show every 5 mins to sell you athletic greens and test boosters.
Or imagine the Flintstones advertising cigarettes to kids in the middle of the show.
Or comedy shows named after the sponsoring toothpaste company with sponsor breaks throughout.
Sure it’s gotten really bad lately, but mass media has always been rife with obnoxious advertising, both in-your-face and subliminal. The early days of Netflix streaming were really the anomaly as far as access to non-pirated ad-free media. The broadcast TV generation had their coping mechanisms with the mute button and eventually DVRs, but “media without ads” has basically never been a thing.

And I double my piracy. Checkmate, corporations.

Right? I can't believe people actually pay for these services. Oh well, I guess someone has to.
