How would they show ads to me if I don't use their services?

I'd forgotten they were gonna start doing this. I've got Amazon for the shipping there video has always been leaking. I use it maybe twice a year. They're probably trying to delay a price increase to Amazon and increase revenue.

We have prime because we order enough through Amazon that the 'free' shipping we pay for is still a good deal. If I don't watch any Amazon video anymore, that's fine. And I don't plan to if there are commercials.

Yeah, my monthly coffee subscription saves me enough to pay for prime in four months. I don't really use the video service enough to care.

Are there any videos/guides to set up a Usenet for dummies? Asking for a friend of mine.

My parents still watch cable and the odd time I've seen an ad for some other service advertised as only 12/mo with ads or something like that. Is that supposed to sound good to anyone. All these shit corporations need to get fucked.

In a word: yarrrrr

Presently, every time i dive into az video i find nothing and that my time spent was in vain... so now they want me to pay even more for this added misery? Easy decision... I'm out.

Other than Good Omens, and Grand Tour I guess, what's even on Prime Video that's not elsewhere?

[–] ost99@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

The Boys, The Expanse (last 3 seasons), Wheel of Time and Rings of Power are all Prime exclusives.

I've already canceled my Amazon prime subscription. I'm just waiting for it to expire in March

If the price was slightly higher and it'd remove ads on twitch, I might buy it
