More ads are coming to Amazon Prime Video. This is great news for company executives and not-so-great news for everybody else, as ads are annoying.

    Here is what I have started doing…I am giving any company a one star or the equivelent rating everywhere I can find to leave feedback that puts ads on my prime account…if a few million people reach out to each company and also stop using their products and services things can change.

        The trick isn’t in the automation, but the avoidance of filtration after the tactic is disseminated at scale… Gotta stay under the radar so that the automated review-bombs aren’t detectable as such. 🤓🤘🏽

    It’s already an intolerable number of ads in some shows. And if you pause and go back a few seconds they show you all the unskippable ads again. It’s definitely becoming more trouble than it’s worth.
