Ars TechnicaAmazon Prime Video is getting more ads next year
Subscribers tolerated the current ad load, so Amazon is adding more commercials.

@arstechnica BitTorrent *Mic drop*
Mike Noe@KellicTiger @arstechnica NZB > bit torrent. But yeah this is the only answer.
Jack Tong@arstechnica keyword “tolerated”
Kimberley@arstechnica My compliments on the discipline of the average US viewer. Super impressive. 🙄
I hope none of these people have the audacity to get their noses bent out of shape when they're not allowed in my foxhole if everything goes to shit. I'm safer alone. Fuck outta here.

BrettGood thing their entire content library is available on Usenet.
Allan Chow@arstechnica are they even able to sell those ads? It's the same damned Amazon ads all the time

Roy #EatTheRich Pardee 🇺🇸@arstechnica goddammit, I've been missing the free shipping & was considering going back. Screw that.

@rpardee @arstechnica I was canceling one service a month during the writers strike. I've reactivated a couple since, but not Prime. They're too big to support.
TransitBiker@arstechnica there’s ads? I haven’t seen any.
Alan Campbell@arstechnica for me another reason not to give that greedy fucker bezos any money (not on Prime, avoid buying on Amazon as much as possible)

Your new website layout fucking sucks.

It seems really clean. (at least on mobile) What issue is there that I'm not seeing? (Asking honestly as I must miss something)

EddiKat@arstechnica Perfect image choice for this evil shit they are doing.
Josh Rivers@arstechnica @Buggy I cancelled my whole Prime subscription over this choice they made. It’s sad that Ars says there has been little pushback, but Amazon has convinced me that I don’t need what they are selling.

@arstechnica always as I think I book Amazon or Netflix for a month just to enjoy a show I haven't found otherwise yet they pull idiotic shipwreckage like that.
Not gonna lie, thanks for saving me more money Amazon.

Robert Clark@arstechnica My adblocker seems to be still removing them for now, so the result for me has just been watching more often on desktop instead of mobile. Also it turns out downloading offline and then watching in airplane mode works on mobile 🤷♂️
Noah Campbell@arstechnica a jellyfin server is the best streaming service!

Bishop Whitewind@arstechnica Amazon's about to find out we only pay them to deliver our fucking mail for free.
Raj 🇬🇧🇪🇺💻🖥(🌻🇺🇦;🇵🇸)@arstechnica The principle of enshittification - push the limits until they start breaking.
Personally I already *stopped* tolerating them. I ditched prime when the previous change came into force.
@arstechnica Either I'm paying for the service, or they're funding it alternately by selling my eyeballs to the highest bidder in which case I'm not paying for the privilege.
dark was the night 🌚@arstechnica Invidious is a thing. And I pay for Nebula! But I ain't paying for YT nor Prime
Raconteur-GuideInfuriating!
@arstechnica more enshittyfication. Brilliant.

@arstechnica this one is not true at all
"The executive pointed out that Prime Video with ads doesn't show commercials in the middle of content. That could change next year."
Prime Video shows ads mid-content in shows. Watching the current Rings of Power on the Prime Ads tier gets you at lest on "ad break" with content for two to three ads..
Will Dormann@arstechnica
Streaming video was just an "added bonus" for people who were already subscribed to Prime. Nobody signed up for Prime just because of the streaming service.
This should be a surprise to no one.
cultdev@arstechnica so glad i’ve never subscribed to any of these maggot-souled services
