Thats the end of me watching it then. Fuck paying for a sub and still having ads shoved in my face. Fuck paying for anything and having it advertise at me.
Yeah, that was the point. The service I signed up for remains unchanged and I am still pleased with it. Prime Video was originally a quirky perk full of awful low budget content. If there is anything I like, I will pirate anyway because streaming services cannot be trusted to keep content available. So ultimately nothing has changed for myself or Amazon.
Other than The Boys and Wheel of Time, is there anything else worth watching on Prime?
PS: Never "buy" digital content with DRM.
Buy physical media of the stuff you love. It supports the creators and it safeguards your purchase.
It's pretty straightforward after you wrap your head around how it works!
For video, Jellyfin is a fantastic FOS sotware: very user friendly, simple, and does what you need. Downside is it's not available natively on all OSs (Samsung's Tizen stands out..). Plex is free and works well too, but you'll need to navigate some bloatware. It's available almost everywhere though.
More people need to cancel their subscription. (They most likely won't though) I am tired of corporations getting away with charging for ads. Not a trend that should ever have been allowed, imo.
I chose to cancel a while back. I stopped using prime video, (really didn't like prime original ads at the start of everything), and usually didnt order enough to warrant the cost for free shipping. Especially since it would take a week or more before delivery.
They must want people to cancel, because this is how you get people to cancel. I’m using Amazon less for shipping, there’s so many knockoffs these days, I’m not interested in returns.
