It already makes me mad that Prime video plays ads for their own shows before stuff I’m trying to watch. Plus they have straight up cable tv style subscriptions

Yeah, I get Prime Video “free” because I subscribe to Prime for the shipping benefits. But even free doesn’t cut it if they are playing ads, promoting subscription services to other “channels” and are generally being annoying.

It’s the same reason why I refuse to watch any of the “free” TV channels that come with my internet service provider or my smart TV. They couldn’t pay me to sit through ads one after another. Life’s too short for that nonsense.

Apple does that too, and it’s so un-Apple.

Well, it’s not Steve Apple, but it’s very Tim Apple, and that bugs me.

Apple always has ads for it’s own stuff in everything. Most of their users just refuse to call them ads.

I could go on about that too.

Shit like permanently pinning a notification in system preferences because you aren’t signed into iCloud grinds my gears.

There’s a lot I like about Apple, and a lot that I wish Steve’s ghost would come back and start tossing desks out of windows over.
