As if the Prime Video app couldn’t get any worse.

    I’m one of the people that canceled when they announced they were going to be putting ads in prime. I’m doing just fine without it.

      I’ve honestly just hit a point in life where I’m dine giving megacorps money. I stopped piracy like a decade ago because I had the means to pay for shit, but since then companies have just started treating customers with more and more disrespect, and I’m perfectly knowledgeable on how to access most of their shit fir free and with less restrictions and hassle. So Im back to piracy not fir money reasons, but FUCK YOU reasons

        100% relatable. Done with these abusive subscriptions.

        Yup. I’m looking for legal options to buy what I want so I can drop my last couple subscriptions (Disney+ and Netflix). I’m currently on the ad free versions of those, and if those go away or become too expensive, I’ll be more motivated to get rid of them.

        I already cut out Amazon Prime, Disney+ is the next to go. I’m updating my NAS so it can hold more videos, and I’ll teach my kids how to use it instead of the smart TV. The next step is to replace my smart TV with a dumb TV…

      Same mine just ended last week I think. Meh. Lately I’ve been noticing the quality issues and tricks of the junk sold on there where I am always cautious when I buy random stuff. Prime video was just a bonus, and I hardly used it anyways. This was the final nail in the coffin. I also do not want to endorse this sort of behavior so others do it.

      On a completely unrelated note, the *arr suite is a pretty nice collection of services.

      Same… And since I still have not replaced their firetv sticks, I know use all their advertising as a list of “here is what’s out, in case you want to sail for it”

      Thank you Amazon hehehehe

      Mine ends in July. There are definitely some decent shows on Prime but I’m not going to spend an extra 25% to get the same shit and I’m not going to watch their ads. Products on Amazon are near worthless so there is not much value there.
