Netflix already does this. They all will just copy each other. Eventually ads will come for the top tier levels too. Enough is never quite enough for these people.

I've been getting a lot of mileage from this.
I'm proud to say I pirated the fallout show
I have Prime and still pirated it, because the website and app are such a mess

I have prime. I torrent their content anyway as they don’t play nice with vpn.

Prime video could absolutely get worse, don't kid yourself.
I'm surprised they think this is useful... if I've paused a video it's because I'm answering the phone or front door, making a coffee, going for a shit etc... I'm almost never going to see these ads 🤷🏻♂️
Wow, what happened to paying for things supporting the product and not needing ads?

I unsubbed from prime last year once the ads were announced on prime video.
There's no reason to have it anymore imo.
A VPN sub is like $40 a year and that lets me get any media I want.
Free Shipping without prime starts at orders over $35. Who doesn't spend at least $35 in 2024?
Looking more like the right decision i made to drop prime last year
Yeah I don't use prime video but as soon as I saw they were going to add ads, that opens the door for them to make their app shitty as hell.
