I just tried to look up a specific video of a Nick Swardson stand up bit. All I searched was “Nick Swardson loitering”. There were 5 fucking ads before an actual user posted video, then one real human posted video that barely had anything to do with Nick, then 5 more fucking ads.

I knew they were forcing ads into videos but clogging the entire search feed with ads is unfuckingbelievable.

Is this really what it’s come to? Ads are more important than what I’m actually looking for? Are people really okay with this?

    I also pay Prime for the delivery (it’s a cheap annual payment around these parts).

    I also still torrent Prime shows, not out of instinct, but because it’s more convenient and less of a hassle, I get them in higher quality, and I can archive them for later.
