If you have @PrimeVideo@twitter.com, @amazon@twitter.com will block you from watching Prime shows that you've paid for with your membership if you have an adblocker enabled that stops Amazon-adsystem.com from loading.

@Bradley_JF I have an adblocker running and havent had trouble using it yet...

@freemo It doesn't happen with every video. Sometimes the video just takes a while to load. Sometimes I hit a video that just won't open at all, though. The Bridge at Remagen for example. I tried another video and it played after a short delay. I'm using uBlock Origin.

@Bradley_JF could be incidental and not related to the blocker. Could also be that the blocker is blocking a source needed for the videos themselves.. hard to say.

Usually if they are really going to deny services due to an ad block they wont just silently stop a video from loading, there will be an explicit popup.

@freemo Could be. But even if that's the case, they shouldn't be running ads before a show that I've already paid to watch anyway. I don't have this issue on other streaming platforms.

@Bradley_JF Absolutely agree on that point. I buy shit to avoid ads, then they just felt they could throw them in anyway... there are "free" versions with ads but apparently as long as the ads arent in the middle of the show its ok or something? I dunno but im with you I hate the ads.
