    That’s why I cancelled my Prime subscription. After that, Amazon randomly re started my Prime subscription, twice; that’s why I deleted my Amazon account.

    Glad I cancelled Prime some time ago. Haven’t missed it and I usually get free shipping anyway by buying elsewhere. I’ll even pay more to avoid Amazon.

      And it’s never been better with Stremio plus a Debrid service. App has a much more user friendly interface than that Prime trash.

    I’m was going to say …. I’ve mostly given up on Prime Video but tried to watch it last night and it was intolerable

    Netflix too. Even trying to use it according to their rules, they decided my home network is not my home network. I have to keep using the extra authentication, and they are not willing or able to fix it. I’m really just holding out for Wednesday, but maybe I should cancel, and resubscribe in December when I can watch the whole season

    I’m not currently frustrated with Disney+, but am also not watching anything there.

    I generally try to stay at 2-3 subscriptions but sometimes none of them are worth ot

      I watched just the one episode of Wednesday and came to the conclusion that whoever wrote it had never seen The Addams Family at any point.

      It was painful to watch.

        The first episode was definitely questionable but once the season got the family out of the way, the fan service out of the way, and focussed on Wednesday, it was much better.

        It was definitely a good idea to focus on the one character independent of the family, to avoid conflicts with the original show

      While my kids are watching Disney+, if there is a wifi blip the stream gets messed up. The video starts going into a fast forward type mode and the audio disappears. That’s when I hear my kid yell from the other room “there’s no words again!”

      Never have those issues streaming from my jellyfin server.

    Amazon funded Trump’s inauguration, they’ve doubled their advertisements, they mistreat their warehouse workers, for people who don’t use Amazon often you’re paying more money than you’d spend on just paying for shipping on the occasion you need fast shipping or if you don’t need fast shipping you can still get free shipping if your order is more than the threshold which I think depends on your account might be $25 or $35.

    Given all these things I really hope no one is subscribing to Amazon prime. I’d highly recommend anyone who uses Amazon prime to cancel it. Being shown advertisements on something you’re paying for is insane. This should be the final straw for any Amazon Prime customer.

    I find it hard to get too upset about this since Prime Video is just a throw-in bonus that I’m not paying for. Even if it didn’t exist I’d still be subscribed to Amazon Prime. The only thing I really used Prime Video for, even when it didn’t have ads, was to find movies to add to Overseerr.
