I plan on cancelling Prime this year.

The only reason I haven’t is that my siblings need to use my account sometimes.

Time to get a library card and read some books

sebinspace ,

My library even has audiobooks, fuck you audible!

I have no idea why, but your comment just randomly reminded me of this song from my childhood.

It’s already one of the worst streaming services, there’s nothing I care to watch on there and anything I do want that they have available costs money on top of the membership, plus the UI sucks.

I have been meaning to cancel my Prime membership. Prices are high, shipping hardly gets anything to me on time. Who can find anything on Prime Video with their horrible interface? Not worth the price. Time to put on my pirate’s hat and save a buck.

Ya know, I barely shop on Amazon anymore, I should go ahead and cancel that…

Vladkar ,

The only Prime show I can even think of is The Boys, which is worth a month subscription once a year or so whenever a new season drops. With so much competition and so little content, you’d think these streaming services would start offering better incentives for long-term subscriptions. Instead, they keep raising rates. Baffling.

Is there even anything worth watching on Prime? I haven't even looked at it in years.

lobut ,

I quite like Reacher, most people like The Boys, I’ve heard good things about Good Omens.

hightrix ,

The Expanse is one of the best sci-fi shows of all time. I highly recommend it.

Ookami38 ,

Not with ads there isn’t.

loki_d20 ,

Tastes aside…

Reacher.
Bosch.
Invincible.
Legend of Vox Machina.
Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.
Upload.
The Expanse.
Vikings.
The Man in the High Castle.
Good Omens.
The Rings of Power.
Wheel of Time.
Hanna.
Outer Range.
The Outlaws.
Jack Ryan.
The Consultant.
The Kids in the Hall.

There’s a lot there I don’t watch. I know there’s Fleabag but haven’t watched it.

Currently I’m mostly watching Korean stuff on Netflix as most English releases are pretty meh compared to Invincible and Reacher on Prime.

Is !fucksubscriptions a real thing?

joemo ,

Gotta love corporate greed.

If you are displaying ads to the user, the ads should pay for their access. If a user is paying for access to a service, they shouldn’t see ads.

Amazon Prime Video can go suck a dick.

Cornpop ,

This might be the last straw for me to cancel prime.

It was for me.

I am just going to pirate their content from now on.

Canceled Prime and Kindle Unlimited, I’m off the Amazon pill

MrVilliam ,

Their timing is incredibly stupid. If they had rolled this out in like October, people would’ve stuck it out for prime shipping on Christmas purchases, and then most people would’ve forgotten about it because nobody launches prime video because it’s fucking garbage. This timing is probably gonna push the most people possible to cancel because we already bought shit, we’re looking to cut costs, and people will have a “new year new me” attitude to change habits. The next dumbass move will be to split prime video off to be a separate subscription from prime shipping, and then they’ll raise prices on both until shutting down video when nobody wants it, and then they’ll introduce a cheaper prime shipping tier (current prime price) that is a required subscription to order anything from amazon. They will make the product shittier and shittier until the entire brand collapses like the hollow shell of its former self that it is.

Blackmist ,

They already fucked up music earlier in the year, so I’m now fully out.

IndefiniteBen ,

It already does this. I frequently get ads for other shows when starting a show on Prime video. I can barely accept the existing ads.
