Prime Video subs will soon see ads for Amazon products when they hit pause

Amazon is adding three types of shoppable ads to Prime Video's ad tier.

Goddammit, Amazon! If I pause, it's usually because I have to have a discussion, take a call, or concentrate on something else for a minutes. I DON'T need the background noise! Bad enough I turned on my Fire TV this morning and it started blaring a VERY loud musical commercial with no warning.

@arstechnica Amazon is driving me away with their late-stage capitalism gambits.

Every tier has become an ad tier, that's what drove me back to the high seas.

@arstechnica PSA, you can run your own private streaming server. It's a tad complicated, but you can pay people on fiverr to do it for next to nothing for you. AMA.
