Can't you skip pre-roll Prime ads? You can in the UK at least, although they have started moving their shows to "Freevee" which seems to just be ad supported Prime.

I don't think it's too big of an issue to be honest. Unlike in the 80s, streaming services now compete with bittorrent.

You can skip pre-roll Prime ads, but they're introducing regular ads as well.

Gotta now fork up $3/mo in addition to your Prime subscription to get rid of ads.

They offer the skip button on my Prime but it conveniently just replays the ad again if I press it.

I pay for Prime... and get ads. Sucks.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Either way I won’t play.
