      It already makes me mad that Prime video plays ads for their own shows before stuff I’m trying to watch. Plus they have straight up cable tv style subscriptions

        Yeah, I get Prime Video “free” because I subscribe to Prime for the shipping benefits. But even free doesn’t cut it if they are playing ads, promoting subscription services to other “channels” and are generally being annoying.

        It’s the same reason why I refuse to watch any of the “free” TV channels that come with my internet service provider or my smart TV. They couldn’t pay me to sit through ads one after another. Life’s too short for that nonsense.

      Was the cheap Netflix-only model really sustainable tho?

      Tbh seemed too cheap from a business perspective to last long
