Amazon Prime Video has pre-roll ads now. Granted they're all for other Amazon Prime Videos, but they're still ads.

I feel like we're in a long game of "boil the frog" till one day we're happy that our favorite service only has one or two ads.

I don't want to defend Amazon for that, but are they at least still skipable?

Yes

I've had a few where the skip button was not available. Clicking on the button would just pause the ad.

Yeah, and it is very annoying.
