Why the fuck is everyone adding MORE ad's. The whole point of getting rid of cable/sat was to get away from ad's and have content on-demand.

From the post:

>When Amazon introduced ads on Prime Video in January 2024, it said it aimed to have meaningfully fewer ads than rivals—reportedly, just two to three-and-a-half minutes per hour. Less than 18 months later, that number has quietly doubled. According to six ad buyers and documents reviewed by ADWEEK, the current ad load on Prime Video now ranges from four to six minutes per hour. And while that could bring down CPMs, buyers will be watching whether this impacts user experience.

When cable came out then entire point was you paid a monthly subscription so you didn't have ads like you did on broadcast TV.

Streaming will be like 40% ads before you know it.

Naw, I will go back to piracy before I put up with that shit.

I will pay for media if you make it convenient and it's not overpriced and doesn't have a ton of ads (ideally zero since I am paying). You keep jacking up prices and put in ads anyway? Well fuck off. Ill just pay for a VPN and a seed box in some other country and never look back.

It's not worth their bullshit and its too easy and too cheap to pirate without being caught (and has been for over a decade). Everything I have now is bought and ripped media but that could change real fast if they keep fucking about.
