Literally makes me want to cancel my prime subscription
Absolutely! it’s a shame the Amazon delivery service is so handy
.@JAC but even that seems to have taken a nosedive recently. Tou can’t get same day delivery anymore (aside from groceries) - even if you have a prime subscription.
At least, that’s been my experience of late.

@JAC Always has I think. Given the net worth of Jeff Bezos, you’d think he’d give away stuff like this for free.

@phenomlab Definitely, it’s beggars belief that you should have to pay twice to get some ad free.

@JAC the worst part is that when watching a film, you get no warning whatsoever that an ad is coming. It just cuts straight into what you are watching which gets to be infuriating after a while and completely ruins what might be a good film or program.

.@JAC not that I’ve seen, although to be honest, Netflix is very expensive for the service on offer. In fact, I rarely find anything of interest.

I’m exactly the same, there’s so much on there but I just scroll through and I don’t really find anything I want to watch.

@JAC Yes, exactly. That’s the point of monetisation, but it shouldn’t be at the expense of the viewer who may already be paying a premium fee to dodge stuff like that.

@phenomlab there we go…
@JAC the guy had already mentioned the app previously during the video and said how to download it and how much he loves it etc, and then went onto thank them for sponsoring the video
