As far as I’m concerned skippable ads are the same thing as any other ad. I use auto play for a reason and it’s because I don’t want to fuck with the remote every episode.
If anything they are worse because they make you become aware enough of the ad to make the connection to physically push a button skip it. When HBO Minimum Quality added them I dropped it. When Paramount (We can’t build a functional app) + and Disney Pus (Not a typo) added them I finally built a media server and rejoined the high seas after 20 years. I’ll never go back.
When I had Plex play trailers, it was only ever before movies, with trailers for movies. Seeing it every time you watch an episode of a show is too much.
Goddddddddd this and HBO. I’m already on your fuckin platform, show me the show. If you REALLY need to push whatever new BS cash grab you’ve got, put it in a new releases section.
They already fucking do.
They just pretend pre-roll trailers aren’t ads.
(Not trying to defend/excuse fking Amazon lol) They’re easy to skip, though. I imagine these will not be skippable.
Also, people have paid to have Plex play them trailers for years, as it gives a cinematic experience.
It’s not for me, an ad’s an ad.

I don’t understand why would I watch a trailer of the movie I’m about to watch. It doesn’t make any sense to me
The Plex feature is trailers for other movies, like when you go to the cinema.
if I have to hear about American football against my will, it’s a fucking ad
