Are the ads to fuel future shows, or to recoup losses from the abhorrent money pit that is Rings of Power?

“Line no go up, we get more money from you and advertisers, now line go up again”
Now I have an excuse to drop Prime.
It had ads before movies from a long time, 4+ years or even more. The difference is before they were calling them "recommendations", now they're called "ads"
They were running forced movie "recommendations" (=ads) before movies to gather metrics to present to the advertisers
Trailers shouldn’t be lumped in with ads for Products imo. Trailers before movies have existed forever. Getting interrupted by an ad for Honda is annoying.
Have you been to a movie theatre lately? You get car ads before the previews now.
Fuck amazon
This is why cloud free content is always better.
Looks like i cancelled it just in time. Bye bye Prime
movie-web.app
I remember not too long ago, maybe 4 or 5 years, I was having a big argument on reddit and getting killed for giving out about Prime's ads between episodes... I'd completely forgotten about them until now. They used to promote their other shows with 30 second ads between episodes and reddit, or at least wherever I was, were absolutely cool with it.
Would Blokada block these ads?
Well guess what, I'll retain my "access" to such content on Amazon, but if I'm arsed to watch one of their stupid shows I'll do that elsewhere anyway.
