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

[-] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 34 points 1 week ago

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 !

[-] Dran_Arcana@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] bieren@lemmy.zip 31 points 1 week ago

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

And I double my piracy. Checkmate, corporations.

[-] Thorry84@feddit.nl 28 points 1 week ago

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

[-] TheGreenWizard@lemmy.zip 22 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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

[-] RevolverSly@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] antisocialite@lemmy.today 19 points 1 week ago

Gotta pay for all those crappy movies they make starring Dwayne Johnson.

[-] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 7 points 1 week ago

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

[-] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] Tanoh@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago

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

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

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.

[-] sturmblast@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

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

[-] insomniac@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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.

[-] Jaberw0cky@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] Bwaz@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

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.

You guys get ads on Prime?

[-] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] WeUnite@lemm.ee 11 points 1 week ago

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?

[-] RedditIsDeddit@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

that's why I stopped watching prime video movies

[-] Sofapunk@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago

"I can't see ads!"

[-] frenchfryenjoyer@lemmings.world 9 points 1 week ago

Awesome, now piracy can also double!

[-] No1@aussie.zone 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Pray I do not double them again. And again, and again....

Literally, ads infinitum

[-] AA5B@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

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

[-] 01189998819991197253@infosec.pub 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Why for Wednesday? What happens then?

Edit: the show Wednesday. I'm an idiot.

[-] FurtiveFugitive@lemm.ee 7 points 1 week ago

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

[-] Deflated0ne@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago
[-] lukaro@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago

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.
