Anybody else watching less on Amazon

since they started charging for commercial-free viewing.
I've completely stopped watching the few shows that appealed to me because I hate commercials that much.

I watched it less than any of the other streaming services because their interface is absolute dogshit.
Just terrible.

quote:I’ve seen like one 15-30 second commercial per episode I’ve watched so far. And I just binged 8 episodes of Mr and Mrs Smith the last few days. I’ll check out how they handle The Expanse soon, but it’s no where near as annoying as fricking Hulu ads. 6 minutes of commercials for every episode of Only Murders in the Building. If I didn’t get Hulu for free with phone plan, frick them assholes.

Yep. Amazon got put to the back of the bus w/that move. It was already an annoying service to use as it was and this was just the cherry on top.
I'm not even sure what the point of subscribing to Amazon is anymore since the free 2 day shipping that was supposed to be the major benefit of a sub may as well be dead for 99% of the stuff bought on there.

I'm only getting an ad or two before the show starts, haven't been interrupted mid show so not that big of a deal really.

I was barely watching it even before the ads started.
I'm seriously considering canceling once I'm done rewatching Northern Exposure.

I watch Amazon content just not via the Prime video app even though we have Prime. Definitely won't even think about using their app with the ads and now taking away Dolby Vision and Atmos.
Their crap decisions on interface and trying to squeeze out more $$ when they have been throwing it away like drunken sailors will just lead people to alternatives.

The Boys, Gen V, and Invincible are really the only things keeping me subscribed.

I haven't even opened the app since the price increase. I'm looking into cancelling prime altogether

I quit paying for Amazon. For a company with so much money, they put out crap content.

No but I wouldn't blame anyone who does. IMO Amazon is probably better than everyone else at having movies at a given point. Including Netflix and HBO Max.
The quality of original content is a full step below Apple TV+/Netflix/Max/etc. though.
Agreed that the apps are pretty miserable to use.

Here I am looking to see if there is a show called “less” on Amazon…I’ll see my way out

Netflix doing same with commercial if its standard or if its thru your phone account.
Posted on 2/14/24 at 9:41 pm to aubiecat
Watching a whole lot less once I cancelled over a year ago.

You mean the "commercial" that plays at the beginning of a show? Come on, it's no different than Hulu or YouTube. Of the streaming services it is the one that I can actually find something to watch.

I’m watching less of both Amazon and Netflix because they are outsourcing their content and I refuse to watch horribly dubbed over shows / movies.
