I’d seen rumours online but got the email this morning.

EDIT: seems like there won’t be ads for everyone straight away.

  • Live events, such as sports, and content offered through Amazon Freevee will continue to include advertising. Customers in the Republic of Ireland, Channel Islands, and Isle of Man won’t see ads in their experience at this time.

    I hate it already. It’s a search bar, I don’t know shows names. I want a list of pictures. Do they have a list of pictures?

      This is such an odd comment!

      If you want pictures you could check out Stremio with the Torrentio addon, although I’d recommend also getting a Real-Debrid subscription for faster streaming.

      If you’re interested but confused here’s a reddit thread with detailed instructions.

        Why was it odd? I don’t follow mainstream media, I don’t know show names, I don’t know actors/actresses names, I don’t follow their jobs etc… so a site that wants you to specifically look for a movie or show title doesn’t actually work for me at all.

          I usually watch shows/movies I see recommended by people (either online or in real life) rather than stuff recommended by an algorithm, but that’s just me. Whenever I’ve tried algorithmically suggested TV or movies, it’s kinda been bad (which is surprising considering I love Spotify’s suggestions)

            I don’t even want an algorithm. Sort it by release date and I’m happy lol

            Torrent sites have it. :(

      Then do t use it. This is a new way to access free content. Sure it doesn’t have any suggested shows, but that’s because it does t host any shows in house. It aggregates sources. Also the project is open source, feel free to post your issues there. Open source projects only grow with the collaboration of their communities.
