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.
You know what ? I’m starting a Jellyfin only to stream all the ads !
If you make it only toonami ads I'm in tho
Amazon is clearly struggling financially, and needs the revenue. Think of the starving investors!
Let's start a donation campaign for them...
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.
Just steal it. If its an amazon original, they will cancel it after 2 seasons anyway.
And I double my piracy. Checkmate, corporations.
Oi Ue, it's fooking diabolical mate. Omelander topped me wife and now more ads on the tele, diabolical.
It's like they want me to sail the high seas
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.
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
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.
Gotta pay for all those crappy movies they make starring Dwayne Johnson.
It's crazy how much money that cunt makes for the shittiest movies imaginable. Somehow people like that guy too.
He's made some genuinely good stuff though, Jumanji was far better than I ever expected.
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?
Still less than cable/broadcast which runs fifteen to twenty minutes of ads per hour. Given time, I’m sure streaming will catch up.
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
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.
It should be illegal to do what these companies are doing.
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.
Good thing I cancelled prime along with all my subscriptions and accounts with US companies just after Trump was elected.
Farewell Amazon videos. Oh, and I'm trying to do all my shopping NOT on Amazon. Fuck bezos, trump, and all the other orange butthole sucking fat cats.
Glad I cancelled Prime some time ago. Haven't missed it and I usually get free shipping anyway by buying elsewhere. I'll even pay more to avoid Amazon.
I cancelled the moment they put ads in the plan I had been paying for. Don’t miss it for a second. Not even prime shipping.
Amazon funded Trump's inauguration, they've doubled their advertisements, they mistreat their warehouse workers, for people who don't use Amazon often you're paying more money than you'd spend on just paying for shipping on the occasion you need fast shipping or if you don't need fast shipping you can still get free shipping if your order is more than the threshold which I think depends on your account might be $25 or $35.
Given all these things I really hope no one is subscribing to Amazon prime. I'd highly recommend anyone who uses Amazon prime to cancel it. Being shown advertisements on something you're paying for is insane. This should be the final straw for any Amazon Prime customer.
Do you know how many ads are on Jellyfin?
that's why I stopped watching prime video movies
I have been cancelling subscriptions to Trump supporting companies since January. I was on a yearly sub with Amazon.
Thanks for the reminder to cancel..........
........ cancelled.
"I can't see ads!"
Awesome, now piracy can also double!
Pray I do not double them again. And again, and again....
Literally, ads infinitum
I’m was going to say …. I’ve mostly given up on Prime Video but tried to watch it last night and it was intolerable
Netflix too. Even trying to use it according to their rules, they decided my home network is not my home network. I have to keep using the extra authentication, and they are not willing or able to fix it. I’m really just holding out for Wednesday, but maybe I should cancel, and resubscribe in December when I can watch the whole season
I’m not currently frustrated with Disney+, but am also not watching anything there.
I generally try to stay at 2-3 subscriptions but sometimes none of them are worth ot
Why for Wednesday? What happens then?
Edit: the show Wednesday. I'm an idiot.
While my kids are watching Disney+, if there is a wifi blip the stream gets messed up. The video starts going into a fast forward type mode and the audio disappears. That's when I hear my kid yell from the other room "there's no words again!"
Never have those issues streaming from my jellyfin server.
+100% ads --> -100% amazon purchases
I noticed paramount+ was included in a subscription service my wife has. I setup an account, loaded the app found a show to watch. Made it threw 3 episodes decided to pirate the show instead because the commercials were to annoying.
