    Why is it that these fucks get to increase their price and just to offer shittier service but if I want a raise at my job I’ve got to go above and beyond?

      I’m not even sure it encourages piracy. That would assume amazon has content people want to watch.

      Name an amazon show…

      See? You can’t do it. Nobody can! It’s like trying to name lost media from the silent movie generation. Nobody would know what you were talking about if you did name one.

        Amazon as a company sucks enough on its own. No need to make shit up.

        See? You can’t do it.

        I can. I can even name multiple really good shows. But you don’t want to hear them. You want to fabricate a narrative.

        The Boys, Fallout, Invincible, Good Omens. These were all good shows, though the Boys is kinda wearing thin and I’m glad it’s ending next season.

        Haven’t seen em, but Jack Ryan, Reacher, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, The Marvelous Ms. Maisel…all these seem to have done extremely well and been popular.

        Sure they have their absolute disasters like the Rings of Power too, but it’s not like they’re on the same level of quality as like the freevee’s and roku original shows.

    I canceled prime as soon as they introduced ads into prime video. You should do the same.

    You’ll be less tempted to buy shit from them as an added benefit!

    I unsubscribed in January and still have too much stuff to watch. Although that is helped by being in the UK and having iPlayer I guess. I’ve also spent way less on impulse buying crap because of the free shipping. Absolutely do not miss Prime.

    That’s okay, I’ll ramp up my piracy of Amazon-exclusive shows in 2025 too.

    I want to congratulate streaming services. They got me off torrenting for a decade but multiplication, price hike and general enshitification has gotten me to install an *arr stack. My only media subscription now is $5 a month for a VPN.

    So congrats guys, you’ve become the new cable and we’ve come full circle 👍.
