An open letter to AMC.
*Clears throat*
Dear AMC,
I'd like to begin by expressing my enjoyment of many of your high quality series, particularly those taking place in the Breaking Bad and Walking Dead universes. While I'm sure you have received criticism on their quality, I generally speaking am not of that persuasion, and appreciate the consistent high quality content you provide. I also love being able to watch them the next day through AMC on Demand. Being able to watch at my leisure is a luxury I do not take for granted. I am also not bothered by the inclusion of commercials while watching on demand. I understand it costs money to create such high quality entertainment, and I gladly give you 10 minutes of my time per episode to assure that happens. The option to pay extra to watch without commercials is also appreciated, as more options is always nice to have.
But you have to stop showing me commercials for the shows I am watching.
I can somewhat understand showing commercials for other shows I am not watching. But even then, if you have 2 new episodes on Sunday night, and I decide to watch them Monday morning, I have to watch one before the other. So if I decide to watch Fear the Walking Dead first, I don't want to see commercials for The Walking Dead World Beyond. For one thing, they are spin-offs of the same show so it is very likely that the people who watch one also watch the other. So if I am watching one, and then there is a commercial for the other in which they are burying a body, that sort of spoils the episode.
Episodes of shows which are known for unexpected moments happening. These are not shows where you know what will happen ahead of time. So stop showing ads for shows that have massive viewer overlap, less than 12 hours after it airs.
Perhaps you want to assume I'd watched the other series' episode - which you shouldn't -but maybe you do. There is absolutely no logical reason why you are showing me teasers for next weeks episode for the show I am currently watching! If I am in the middle of watching a show the day after it initially aired, you have very good reason to assume I have not watched it yet. So halfway through when a commercial for next weeks episode comes on spoiling how this episode ends, I am understandably going to be frustrated.
You may want to point to that option to watch commercial free which I mentioned earlier, but why have the on-demand feature if it's not to be used? Unless you are trying to make you product worse in order to push me into spending more for a better product, I see no reason to not stop putting ads that will spoil what I am currently watching.
In closing, get your shit together AMC. Not spoiling things for nerds is marketing 101.
Sincerely, vj.
They sound like some pretty ungrateful spoiled kids. Can't blame you for not wanting to give them anything anymore. The problem with my sister in law is the fact that she and her husband would be the ones offended or complaining, not her kids. Their kids are great honestly, and too young yet to be judgey lol. It's unfortunate though that she's already picky about what they play with, then add in her hyper-religious husband and I'm honestly afraid of getting them a gift that would somehow be "feminine" and thus hearing about it through a snide comment from her husband or her telling her mom because that's literally the only person she talks to now. (Ever since my husband and I started dating and his brother got divorced and re-married, she no longer talks to anyone except her parents and somehow no one questions that at all. 
)
I actually like a lot of his music. 
I hate saying that because I really do love dogs. (Not as much as cats, but still) I feel like a horrible dog owner all the time anymore because me and hubs are struggling caring for a senior dog separate from a rambunctious adolescent dog. Neither one of us can do both. We just can't and neither one is safe here with the other.
I'm just really upset with everything atm.
