Dear Prime member,
We are writing to you today about an upcoming change to your Prime Video experience. Starting January 29, Prime Video movies and TV shows will include limited advertisements. This will allow us to continue investing in compelling content and keep increasing that investment over a long period of time. We aim to have meaningfully fewer ads than linear TV and other streaming TV providers. No action is required from you, and there is no change to the current price of your Prime membership. We will also offer a new ad-free option for an additional $2.99 per month that you can sign up for here.
Yes but that would mean executives would have to stop being ideological retards and act like real business owners that care about making money. Something I am constantly baffled by is the total underutilisation of 3D animation in general, it isn't just about pixar style kids' movies and could be so much more. Plus it would be way easier to churn out episodes and you could get away with re-using scenes depending on the type of show it was. Again though, these people are morons with no imagination or they simply don't want to.
By the way I've been very much on the anti-amazon train ever since I clicked on a cancel button for their stupid prime service pop up and it signed me up to the free trial anyway. I've seriously resented them as a business for pulling that shit and it wasn't my imagination.
The C-suite resent the shareholders as much as they do the customers. That's why many of these geriatric corporations pretend they're scrappy tech growth companies; FOMO retail investors, perform corporate stock buybacks, and cash out at the top. Classic pump and dump behavior.
