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.
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.

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.
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.
