    People lived with it for years with cable.

      Cable started out without ads too. That was why you paid for it.

      Right, but the business model is totally different. You’re paying your cable provider for access, you’re not paying to watch the TV shows. The TV shows were financed by broadcaster advertising revenues among other streams of income. With Amazon, you’re paying for access and to fund their programs. Ads are just greedy and anti-consumer for a vertically integrated platform like Amazon Video.

      Cable wasn’t really a thing here in the UK, we’re not primed for their bullshit.
