Amazon is killing its streaming originals

Of course, we will be willing to put up with Amazon’s ads The boys, Fallout, Invincible, The rings of power, The vastness, ReacherAnd Flea bag because we already know their quality. I’ll put up with a little more condescension from T-Mobile if I can see the next epically vile and disgusting scene The boys supplies.

But Bosch? Out of range? Patriot? All the series someone told me I should try but I’m not quite convinced yet? Why should I go through Amazon’s ads for them?

It’s silly. Real. Call me short-sighted all you want, it’s just silly. When I have half a dozen other streamers to choose from, all of whom give me movies and shows I know I like, spin-offs in franchises I know I like, and completely original content that I still never seen it, but which I can try without ads, how is that possible? Are you convincing me that it’s anything but foolish to put up with Amazon’s ads for anything other than the content I already know is worthwhile?

In fact, not only do Amazon’s ads discourage me from trying new (to me) content, I’m not even sure I’ll continue watching some of the shows I’ve already invested in.

Will I bother to watch season 2 of Carnival row now that not only did I have to wait decades to get it, but I probably also have to watch those stupid cartoon bears obsessed with toilet paper?

Or The gear? I’ve seen season 1 of The gear. It was okay. Would I have watched season 2 without the Amazon ads? Certainly, when I wasn’t busy reading Hulk 2099.

Now? Um. There are so many options to watch people with accents die horribly on top of that The gearand most of them don’t come with Amazon’s ads.

There is too much content. There’s too much of it on my TV, on my phone, on my gaming console, in my comic book boxes, and on my bookshelves for Amazon to convince me with “yes, ads are annoying, but they’re not.” Citadel look cool?”

No. Not so cool. No bears obsessed with their cool butts. Come on.
