(Not trying to defend/excuse fking Amazon lol) They're easy to skip, though. I imagine these will not be skippable.
Also, people have paid to have Plex play them trailers for years, as it gives a cinematic experience.
It's not for me, an ad's an ad.
As far as I'm concerned skippable ads are the same thing as any other ad. I use auto play for a reason and it's because I don't want to fuck with the remote every episode.
If anything they are worse because they make you become aware enough of the ad to make the connection to physically push a button skip it. When HBO Minimum Quality added them I dropped it. When Paramount (We can't build a functional app) + and Disney Pus (Not a typo) added them I finally built a media server and rejoined the high seas after 20 years. I'll never go back.
When I had Plex play trailers, it was only ever before movies, with trailers for movies. Seeing it every time you watch an episode of a show is too much.
Wish the overly aggressive product placement were skippable, e.g. in Reacher:
I am down for hyper on-brand, clearly denoted, clever/humorous sponsored segments. StyroPyro was able to advertise a desk this way. So well integrated, honest, and relevant, I didn’t skip even though I don’t need a chemical-resistant adjustable standing desk.
If I remember right styropyro was just doing product placement with flexi-spot. After Herman Miller bought Fully and tripled their prices, I had to switch desk vendors at work and I had already started using these guys. They're good cheap AF, Chinese standing desks. LTT was shilling for them about 6 months ago. I honestly don't care who makes the desk I'm just sick and effing tired of having to spend $800-$1200 a desk for generic Alibaba parts.
I don't understand why would I watch a trailer of the movie I'm about to watch. It doesn't make any sense to me
The Plex feature is trailers for other movies, like when you go to the cinema.
Goddddddddd this and HBO. I'm already on your fuckin platform, show me the show. If you REALLY need to push whatever new BS cash grab you've got, put it in a new releases section.
Those can be skipped. New ones will probably be similar but not skippable.
if I have to hear about American football against my will, it's a fucking ad
They already fucking do.
They just pretend pre-roll trailers aren't ads.
