I’m at the end of my rope with the degradation of value. I want to pay for quality content and lack of ads, I was happy to pay Netflix for this.

Then I fine with paying Hulu.

Then I was less happy to pay HBO.

Then I was even less happy to pay Disney.

When HBO started adding previews to shows I felt like I was at the end of my patience. Then Amazon did it too.

Now Amazon wants me to pay for ad removal… but makes sure to note that even if I pay, “some channels” will show ads anyways.

I’m all out of good will now.

The pre-order page for ad removal (a sentence which makes me feel irrationally angry) notes: “Live TV, Freevee, and channel subscriptions may continue to have ads.”

The email I got seems to define channels as “…like Max, Paramount+ with SHOWTIME, BET+, MGM+, ViX+, Crunchyroll, PBS KIDS, NBA League Pass, MLB.TV, and STARZ…”
