Streaming giant sued over ads + growing up thinking you won't get old
About this episode
Streaming services used to be ad-free, but now you can barely avoid them.
Australia's consumer watchdog is taking Amazon to court over unfair terms that allowed the company to introduce ads.
We take a look at what this case is all about, and why Amazon could be fined $50 million.
And we speak to Bek Condello. Bek grew up in a strict Pentecostal doomsday church, thinking the world could end at any moment. She tells Dave what it was like to leave the church at 27.
