Nah I don’t think I pay, I think the ads are just a free tier thing but it’s still not actually competition, other than convenience I guess which is a persuasive argument to a lot of people – I know I’m not immune from paying or putting up with shit for convenience 😂
A friend gave me access to his Amazon Prime Video and yeah, not going to watch anything with ads. You pay and still have ads?
Fuck off, neoliberalist arseholes.

Actually , the paid tier of amazon has ads. Yes. You pay AND watch ads.
Holy shit. Who is paying for that??
Sorry, it was a rhetorical question. As in “Amazon feel it’s reasonable to charge us and then advertise? Because it’s not.”
Oh I see lol - I think netflix also do the same, I remember hearing there are “cheaper” ad-supported tiers now?
Slaves to the line going up. Can’t just have a stable business model!
