TLDR; Oh my god who thought it’s a good idea to put ads in the middle of a movie and then TWO in the middle of a 27 minute long episode of a show!?!?!?
I was watching Fleabag on Prime last night (great show) and there were no ads, everything was going great, and then when watching The Smashing Machine (Safdie) right afterwards I got an ad in the beginning. I think okay, I can still deal with that, standard prime is super cheap anyway here, so it’s not a big problem. However, right in the middle, during a sudden cut from an emotional scene they showed a fucking ad for cars. Wtf.
Then today I wanted to finish Fleabag and on the last episode they made us watch an ad at first, then in the middle, and then about 7 MINUTES from the end! What the actual fuck?
Anyway I’m cancelling my prime sub asap and just pirating this shit at least the ads don’t show up in the middle (or at all with Adblock obviously). Fucking hell.
