Comment on Pop-up Amazon TV ads despite charging people monthly fees for their ad-free plan.
spaghettiwestern@sh.itjust.works 15 hours agoSo according to you an ad is not an ad when you or Amazon use the word “promotion”?
I’m curious, in your opinion when does something like this become an ad? Is it an ad if they they pop it up mid-show every hour? No? How about every 10 minutes, is it an ad then?
Marketing departments attempt to bend reality and public opinion to benefit their company. Their efforts have obviously been effective with at least one commenter on Lemmy.

If you’re getting paid to promote someone else’s shit, it’s an ad…
If you’re promoting something related to your own businss on your own propery and not getting paid by an external party, it’s probably not an ad…
When you use an app from big tech, you’re on their property. They can display whatever they want on their app. They can promise “ad-free” and break that promise if they want… or in this case, most people will agree it’s not an ad
Again, my explanation of our enshittified reality is not an endorsement… hence i choose to avoid big tech where i can and opt for free software.
I welcome you to do the same instead of demanding that amazon follow your view of the world
