    I’m getting there. I don’t mind paying for good content. Though I am starting to mind paying so much across the board and I’m getting tired of everyone having their own platform with its own quirks. Still can’t bring myself to go for Paramount+.

    Now Amazon wants me to pay for ad removal… but makes sure to note that even if I pay, “some channels” will show ads anyways.

    Haven’t seen that yet. What does that mean, “some channels?” Like for AMC content and shit like that?

    Forced ads is my personal red line.

      The pre-order page for ad removal (a sentence which makes me feel irrationally angry) notes: “Live TV, Freevee, and channel subscriptions may continue to have ads.”

      The email I got seems to define channels as “…like Max, Paramount+ with SHOWTIME, BET+, MGM+, ViX+, Crunchyroll, PBS KIDS, NBA League Pass, MLB.TV, and STARZ…”
