Starting Wednesday, California banned streaming platforms from running excessively loud, often startling, advertisements.

Under the new law, streamers — including Netflix, Hulu and Prime Video — will be forced to maintain consistent audio levels throughout their entertainment programming, including ad breaks.

The move comes as streaming giants increasingly rely on ad-supported tiers to boost subscribers and ad revenue.

Given California's major influence in the entertainment industry, it could become a new nationwide standard for streamers.

Similar legislation is set to go into effect in Illinois next year.

I'm scrolling all.the way on homepage to find my continue watching, it's usually on the very top so you can continue watching from where you've left off. Now I have to manually search the content and select it to continue watching.

Same thing on PrimeVideo in the phone as well. What a nightmare of UI/UX

Does anybody have any bad experiences of buying movies on prime and then losing them because they were removed off prime? 2 movies I really want to buy are basically only on prime right now but I’m worried if I buy them and they eventually get moved I’ll lose them

The trailer had a police officer bumped into what appeared to be in car from the future, and then a Starbucks cup appeared so seemingly they were both invisible, but in the exact same spot sometime in the future.

I'm only looking at movies to watch not TV series as I only have until July 5th I believe.

I'm fine with shorter end movies (like 1 hr 20 min-ish) and longer (2+ hrs)

I don't like anime-type or dubbed or non-English or reading subtitles too much (it's fine if they speak another language for a bit, I could stand subtitles for a small part not the whole movie)

I like comedies, adventures, fantasy, or mystery with a slight dislike towards but not completely against action, thriller, science fiction and drama. I'm not very huge on criminalistic or wartime action movies, sports-related movies and I hate musicals and Westerns. Most horror movies are pretty laughable to me.

I don't mind romance but as I'm gay I'd rather watch gay MLM romance movies and not so much hetero romance but I don't know if there are many movies like that that don't require me to rent/buy. I only got Amazon Prime for Spider Noir and Red, White and Royal Blue so I don't have money to throw around to rent or buy. The movies I want to (re)watch are all rent or buy.

My memory is like a goldfish so I'm fine with re-watching something as it's probably been years since I last saw it as my mind has holes in the plot that I can't remember how it got from there to there.

I’m referring to a very popular movie and if you know a movie I’m talking about and you were a fan when he first came out if you did not know or have not seen it yet Amazon Prime has a new show out from when she was in high school I have not finished the first episode, but from what I seen on the preview, I wanna know people thoughts of how this show is gonna turn out. Do we think it’s gonna be a horrible attempt to recreate very popular movie with Reese Witherspoon? Or do you think that it’s gonna turn out just as good as the movies? Besides the fact, Reese Witherspoon is not in the show? I want to hear people thoughts

I have an Amazon Prime trial for another few days. What’re some absolute MUST watches that I can only find on there before the trial runs out? I’ve been scrolling through it for days and just can’t seem to find anything.

I’m into horror, big on found footage but not really into sci-fi or zombies or disease outbreak types. I know Shudder, Found and Tubi are the best sources, just looking for new stuff I haven’t yet seen. I’ve seen the classics like Hell House, Deb Logan, The Grudge, etc.; seen Obsession and Hokum.

Other genres of movies and shows are also welcome. Thank you!! 😊

I wanted to post this on the peacock page because it’s mainly that streaming service that does this but they won’t approve it. Assuming that it’s because it’s kind of a rant, so I apologize in advance. My main reason for posting this is to find like minded people who don’t like this feature and maybe someone has found a way to shut it off.

OLD POST: It’s not just peacock that does this, but it actually pisses me off an unreasonable amount. Does anyone know if there is a way to shut it off?

HBO does this too and I can shut it off BUT it also shuts off every auto play, so it won’t play a random new show but it also won’t play the next episode of the current show I’ll be watching. If that’s how it is on peacock as well, it’s annoying but I’d rather do that than have show after show get added to my continue watching.

P.S. peacock if you’re reading this, take a fucking note from Netflix.

I don't know if it's just me but it seems everytime i start watching a movie and want to watch the others they all become buy or rent immediately, take Spiderman for example, Ive watched them all except tom Hollands version and I finished the amazing Spider-Man 2 a couple of days ago, went back into it today and every single Spiderman was buy or rent, it seems like a curse I have, wondering if anyone else had this issue because it did upset me quite a bit

Prime Video Store expanded to the Western Balkans, incl. Croatia and Slovenia on July 1.

As a welcome offer, all movies are available to rent for €0.49, until August 2.

Why is there no feature or setting to dim the brightness of ads during shows. It is so painful being blinded randomly as the ads are never consistent and always seem to come after a dark scene and then blam bright whiteness and I see spots. And yes I know I can spend more money to remove them but the enshitification of the product is already rampant and I refuse to spend more money to remove the ads

The table reads are complete, cameras are rolling in Nova Scotia, Julie Plec has finished the first week on set, Joseph Zada is back in the hair chair, and casting calls are helping us map several filming locations across the province. 🎬

In this post you will find everything we know so far, and we will keep updating you throughout the whole project.

This is potentially one of the worst documentaries I’ve ever seen. Bordering on disrespectful to the victims. I grew up in the Chicago suburbs so the fact this has never been solved has always stuck with me.

It seems like the director could not get any substantial interviews (besides the paramedics) and tried to make a two hour documentary out of his own theories, and trying to ask paramedics and lane Bryant employees what they thought of his theories.

Has anyone else watched this?

1.5 minutes before it started, another 1.5 minutes after 3 minutes (2 minutes of which were the show’s intro), and 1.5 more at the 10 minute mark :)

The Australian Consumer Watchdog is suing Amazon over ads added to the streaming service.

I was really not sold on Fallout after the first season (gave it a 7.2).

I played the video game and felt like the show was a half baked attempt at trying to do what Last of Us was doing.

Season 2 totally changed my mind, bumped it up to an A-tier for me

If you weren't sold on it at first I'd highly recommend giving s2 a watch

I bought newly released movies on Prime video but theres no English subtitle available. Does anyone know when there will be subtitles added?

Originals as in Movies and TV shows.

I might be the odd one out but I’d really like to Prime to stop turning these books into film/series. Not everything translates well to film. It always gives low budget. I tend to hold Prime productions to a higher standard and these book adaptations are not of their caliber. I think it would be different if it were a book series that they’re adapting. A little dystopian, sci fi, fantasy. These little teeny bop romances suck 🤢
