Like Nvidia Shield, Amazon Fire TV is now displaying full-screen video ads, as reported by owners of Fire TV devices on Reddit.

I made jokes about Google adding full screen video ads when they introduced ~~recommendations~~ paid ads and I was laughed at.

So glad I ditched the stock launcher.

Apparently Amazon is dead set on killing the device prior to changing the OS to stop installations of side loading APK’s like Kodi. This is like chopping off your nose to spite your face.

Good thing I disabled the stock launcher and OTA updates

The article says Google TV does this too but I don't see anything like that on mine.
