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.

There is no change to the current price of your Prime membership. We will also offer a new ad-free option for an additional $2.99 per month* that you can sign up for here.

Then there is a price change you damn dimwit, you just gave the shitty tier the same pricing as the old normal tier, and amped up the normal tier by $3.00. I absolutely hate the wording for this, you just know it was to be able to not release the ad membership at a lower price.

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

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

[–] ost99@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

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

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.

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