I recently did the same on my jellyfin server. 100x the ads actually.
I’ll do you one better. I’m upping the ads on mine by 1,000,000x.
You know what ? I’m starting a Jellyfin only to stream all the ads !
Nice I love it. We didn’t stop ads years ago. Content creators deserve to be paid right guys. Right!!
Maybe the next Internet we can be more proactive. Whenever that is
Amazon is clearly struggling financially, and needs the revenue. Think of the starving investors!
Still less than cable/broadcast which runs fifteen to twenty minutes of ads per hour. Given time, I’m sure streaming will catch up.
Just a matter of time until you can’t chose what to watch on the lowest tier, you have to follow their playlist of what you should watch.
And we have come full circle back to broadcast TV
The irony of streaming services
Exactly, I miss more ads in my lie. Amazon is truly lacking.
I’m old, so many may not relate. I remember when the big selling point of this newfangled “cable TV” thing was zero ads. Can you imagine that?
Yeah, I have Prime for the savings on shipping. Got the Kodi addon for watching Prime, never used it except to watch The Expanse a few years ago. Would have been fucking enraged if I had seen ads cut into that. Fuck am I paying for?!
Cable tv wasn’t invented to have zero ads . The original selling point of cable tv was to provide broadcast tv to those that couldn’t pick up OTA broadcasts.
I think about this all the time. Kids today have no experience of the media without ads. Like we had commercials, but imagine Mr. Rogers stopping his show every 5 mins to sell you athletic greens and test boosters.

Anyways, these kids will grow up and make even worse and more annoying ads. They’ll be the next Gen of marketing executives in a decade or two. There’s nothing we can do about it.
imagine Mr. Rogers stopping his show every 5 mins to sell you athletic greens and test boosters.
Or imagine the Flintstones advertising cigarettes to kids in the middle of the show.
Or comedy shows named after the sponsoring toothpaste company with sponsor breaks throughout.
Sure it’s gotten really bad lately, but mass media has always been rife with obnoxious advertising, both in-your-face and subliminal. The early days of Netflix streaming were really the anomaly as far as access to non-pirated ad-free media. The broadcast TV generation had their coping mechanisms with the mute button and eventually DVRs, but “media without ads” has basically never been a thing.
Arghhhhhh 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🦜🦜🦜⚓️⚓️⚓️ If you wabt to pirate risk free, use Internetarchive.org. Didn’t require a single download to watch 20 seasons of South Park.
Maybe delete this. The archive is being viciously targeted and this screenshot could bite them in the ass
Pray I do not double them again. And again, and again…
Literally, ads infinitum
