    The executive pointed out that Prime Video with ads doesn’t show commercials in the middle of Content

    That’s a blatant lie, it definitely does.

      Copying my reply to someone else:

      What did they interrupt the episode for? Because a number of companies have adopted the policy that, if the interruption is promoting something else offered by the platform - say, a different program, or another tier of service - that those interruptions aren’t really ads, because the company isn’t actually getting paid to air it. It absolutely looks and acts like an ad to the viewers, but the companies are trying to redefine the word.

        I’m getting non-stop Samsung, insurance, food, and other kinds of ads in the middle of shows.

        It makes me not want to use Prime. And in fact, I don’t anymore.
