As if the Prime Video app couldn’t get any worse.

    If I’m being honest, I can handle an ad in my pause menu as long as it doesn’t interfere with the rest of operating the device. If I can unpause and reach the closed captioning or audio menu, fine, whatever. What really gets my goat is pre-roll and mid-roll ads. Can’t stand them.

      I’m not bashing your opinion, if you don’t mind it that’s cool.

      I do mind it. I cancelled prime years ago already because two day shipping somehow was never two day, so I’ll never see one of these pause ads.

      That being said, I mind the idea of it a lot because I often pause to see something on the screen. Be it a text message in a show or something else written/printed, the cinematography, the lighting, the outfits, etc…. Fuck if I ever want an ad thrown up blocking the actual content I want to inspect in more detail.

        No I get it. I don’t like them, but I can live with it if I have to. Luckily my local library has enough DVDs to fill my Jellyfin server. :3
