This is why I never gave up on DVDs, even though people would laugh. As soon as Prime shoehorned ads in the middle of a show or movie, that’s when I cancelled. I’ll have to do the same with music and get my iPod battery fixed up if I can.
I gave up on DVDs long ago, but I replaced them with files stored on a local NAS. Dealing with discs is just too clunky.
I do sometimes miss the extras they’d have on DVDs though. I ripped some DVDs and kept some of that stuff, but I haven’t found a good system that indexes and organizes the extras.
Right at the start, there were sometimes the “you wouldn’t steal a car” warning about pirating movies but there never has been ads in the middle of whatever you were watching.
It’s not that they’re inserting themselves everywhere it’s this right here: “shoehorned ads”. On top of extracting as much data from you that they know more about you than almost you do yourself. dystopia authors couldn’t have written it better.

In the meantime you can just load music files onto your phone and play them that way.
It was a long time ago I watched an DVD, but I very clearly remember some of them having unskippable ads.
