So if I purchase a movie on Prime Video will it start playing ads? Or is it only for the free stuff you can stream?

Seeing as I usually buy way more than $35 of crap at a time, I'm starting to question the need for Prime at all.

Unless it's burned into the stream, adblockers are getting decent at cutting ads out of m3u8 playlists.
All we're going to get out of this is casually-rooted smart TV's, which is a "fucking finally" if anything.

No it's specifically for the stuff that you get as part of Amazon Prime. Although unless they are going to be different than the other providers, the ad breaks for movies would be both before and after the movie. TV shows are the only part that has ads interrupting the show.

I only have prime at all because I forgot to turn off auto renew. Shits expensive these days. I dont use prime video at all though, so this doesnt matter to me I guess.

Other streaming sites have already adopted or are discussing adopting ad tier subscriptions.

Amazon needs a "just mail me my shit" Prime tier, without the streaming fluff.

"Tubi or get fucked" are the only two tiers that are worthwhile. Do not pay for ads.

Yeah I would drop to that in a second, all those years ago that's why I bought it in the first place. I give no shits about the media they've tacked on.

Remember how we all wanted to get rid of cable and just subscribe to get the entertainment we want without ads?

The entertainment conglomerates say: Nope.

You will pay for everything, and then you will be bombarded by ads like it or not.

Yeah and this topic is about continuing to pay for the service, so shows that are already done airing arent really relevant to the discussion imo

If you sub to any streaming service are you not going to spend time watching a show regardless of if its ongoing or finished?
