Pirate services are cheaper and have better apps
Yo ho yo ho.
I don’t understand how people paying for prime can stand that crappy prime video UI anyway.

I’ve been trying, but for some reason, it will not recognize my HD. I’be reformatted my drive…tried different drives…I don’t know what else to do.
Start? In the UK here and it has always had ads. Even on paid
No it doesn’t, it runs a trailer for something else before but I’ve never had ads mid program
Only for itself. Then they added Freevee stuff which had a load of obnoxious ads in. Now they’re adding that to everything, unless you pay extra.
Cancel. Amazon are a cancer.
FYI here is a site with instructions on how to cancel your prime membership since it’s not the easiest thing to find.
I was able to cancel on the mobile app using this same process.
I’ve already canceled my Amazon prime subscription. I’m just waiting for it to expire in March
In a word: yarrrrr
Are there any videos/guides to set up a Usenet for dummies? Asking for a friend of mine.
Look up “trash guides” for the *arr programs. I use Sabnzbd, Prowlarr, Sonarr, Radarr, Recyclarr, Jellyseerr, and Jellyfin. All in docker containers on their own vlan. Lemme know if you need any help.
Thanks for the software tips! I think this plus what I’ve read is a great start!
I forgot to add, when I transitioned into usenet, the most confusing part was that you need to find 2 separate services. From what I understand 1st is access to a usenet to connect to, and 2nd is a service that knows how to crawl and search the 1st to find what you’re looking for.
I could be wrong about that, but that’s how understand it, and have yet to have issues with my setup.
Aye matey! In fact, they’re are entire communities right here in the Lemmyverse all about sailing the digital seas!
Kind of interesting what can be done without the oversight of corporate overlords and monied interests.
So if I understand this right, I can use something like nzbget as the downloader and eweka to download from/as the indexer. Correct?
Is there anything else I would need to get/set up?
Capitalism marches onward.
The moment each show got a pre-reel for another Amazon show this was clearly the path they where taking.
Already cancelled a good 6 months ago.
At least they give you a slip button, unlike Paramount+
Yeah, Prime Video already has commercials.
Yeah I thought that was a pretty obvious attempt to ease people into it. So this news doesn’t come as a shock. If anything I’m surprised it took this long.
How would they show ads to me if I don’t use their services?
The TV side of Amazon Prime is functionally free. And its not like I’m going to cancel the service when what I really use it for is mail-order retail shopping.
So I’ll pirate their smattering of good shows and they’ll tell advertisers I watch their stupid ads. Everyone gets to play pretend and the wheels of commerce will continue to turn.
And bring that keg of mead on board with ya, ya dastardly scallywags 🏴☠️
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Earlier this year, Amazon announced plans to start incorporating ads into movies and TV shows streamed from its Prime Video service, and now the company has revealed a specific date when you’ll start seeing them: it’s January 29th.
No action is required from you, and there is no change to the current price of your Prime membership,” the company wrote.
Customers have the option of paying an additional $2.99 per month to keep avoiding advertisements.
The rest of the email summarizes the many benefits of a Prime subscription — no doubt an attempt to keep customers from cancelling over this decision.
The move comes as competing streaming services continue to raise subscription rates across the board.
The monthly cost of Amazon Prime isn’t changing, but if you want to preserve the same experience you have today starting on January 29th, you’ll end up paying more.

Looks like I’m cancelling.
Is Prime Video something that people sign up for a d would cancel? I thought it was something they just happened to get when buying the express shipping package.
Each part of Prime just keeps getting shittier and shittier, this could definitely be a straw that broke the camel’s back situation. Shipping stopped being 2-days every time during the pandemic, returns used to allow for pick up at your house are now drop off at a store. Music catalog is being slowly locked behind Unlimited, and now it’s all station-ified so you can’t even listen to what you want.
It’s all part of the Prime package. I signed up because they had the new Star Trek shows.
