Totally. Doesn’t seem to be a rhyme or reason. I also don’t understand why skip intro isn’t a thing on purchased shows? Uninstalling the streaming services would work but isn’t really a good solution because what about when someone wants to watch a show that isn’t purchased? And just to heap on, I also really dislike when I’m in TV search and am redirected to something like the Prime video tier that has adds. That’s a serious wtf!? issue, especially for a services I pay for. I would like to disallow any service that has ads and I’d like it to prefer purchased content. Seems like a couple of easy toggle switches in settings.

One of us. One of us.

I think donations via something like Patreon, or subscriptions via an app are eventually totally reasonable for a Lemmy instance. I got enough utility out of Reddit that I would have been willing to pay a few bucks a month for an ad free app subscription. Reddit’s unreasonable, shortsighted management was the problem there. Once Lemmy starts to mature more and there is content worth paying for I’m ready to do my part to make sure it can continue without corporate involvement.
