Newshare, opinions & comments to help good Americans cope with where we are today. Clear 'Coms' are going to be key. The Constitution & rule of law, as we know them, are not functional in this country. We can come together and speak freely here, but for how long? 'In Plain Sight' is not for the delusional, Utopia-programmed, 'Newspeak' believer. We're here for the nasty facts that are our reality today - sharing info & ideas on how to survive our tyrannical communist predicament.
Same old Song n Dance?
Amazon has been sending out these notices recently.
"Dear Prime member,
We are writing to you today about an upcoming change to your Prime Video experience. Starting January 29, Prime Video movies and TV shows will include limited advertisements. This will allow us to continue investing in compelling content and keep increasing that investment over a long period of time. We aim to have meaningfully fewer ads than linear TV and other streaming TV providers. No action is required from you, and there is no change to the current price of your Prime membership. We will also offer a new ad-free option for an additional $2.99 per month*."
Translation:
1 We're letting you know about the most current annoyance we have concocted for you.
2 Limited advertisements? You are surely familiar with this form of scam. Bait n Switch. The question now is how long before the ads are 3 to 5 segments deep and 2 to 4 segments per show.
3 This will allow us to perpetually annoy you for long periods of time, while you continue to pay for it.
4 We aim (but will probably miss, we're lying after all) to annoy you with less propaganda & programming than you fear we will - at least for now. We have lots of Prop. & Prog. that we want 'into you' soon.
5 You don't have to do anything. We set it up without considering your input.
6 This annoyance doesn't cost you a cent more!
7 However, your current level of annoyance will cost you $2.99/mo should you want to keep it.
You can quit altogether but I was ranting & ran out of post-room. Scold me.
