People are catching on to the shift from companies catering to customers with good content to catering to advertisers. These companies don't give two shits about making good content. And after reading the article who the fuck is saying that Prime is getting better? Every time I open the app to watch one of the few original shows worth watching I close it as soon as it hits the first commercial break, which is now up to six unskippable ads every 30 minutes.
Yea I've got Prime. I actually use the shipping and never really liked the video service. My husband however loves watching their stuff and we're currently doing a rewatch of The Boys, which has been terribly painful with all the commercial interruptions. I'm not paying extra for add free. We were watching an episode last night and turned it off at the commercial break and watch YouTube of all things instead. Seriously though seeing a count of Ads 1 of 6 at the top of the screen was just too much.
Where have you been? They've been putting ads into all Amazon content for quite a while now, unless you pay an extra additional fee per month.
In fact, they either just doubled, or announced they're doubling the number of ads per stream/show/movie.
This is why I am now visiting my library’s movie collection weekly and seeing my self hosted Jellyfin content grow and grow!
There’s a reason plex became my default media app about 4 years ago now…
Weird, you can hardly tell from on board the good ship DMCA, which is the name of my Plex Server.
I'm on my way. I just started up our own Plex server. I'm not ready to fully hoist the flag yet but I've got a big dvd collection to rip and that should keep me busy for quite some time
Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of yum!
Enshitification, it’s like entropy.
Yeah. Netflix realized that movie and TV companies didn't understand what streaming was, so Netflix tried to sign the longest deals it could while building its own content library.
Now that content isn't subsidized by other methods, it is more expensive to stream.
