It’s just cable tv all over again. Pay for 8 services to get a handful of shows you want to watch with the other 90% not being touched , now with ads creeping back in too .
And yet, people will fall for it again and again
Not me ! But not everyone has a PC that can store tons of movies and shows so they don’t have much other choice . There’s one streaming service that I think is only in Canada called crave that charges an extra $10 to watch on anything other than your phone it’s just the worst .
get a debrid service
But not everyone has a PC
That’s a decision they’ve made for themselves. No sympathy. Computers are cheap, storage even cheaper.
Personal responsiblity
yarrr
Time to get a library card and read some books

Damn man, go off!
You can stream pretty much anything for free here: https://fmoviesz.to/
Make sure you have Adnauseam or uBlock Origin installed.
Incredibly lucky that our library system has started investing in blu-rays and has purchased many of the Criterion Collection. They have also heavily invested in Shout Factory’s offerings too. Now I need to see what they can do to start getting some Arrow, Vinegar Syndrome, and Severin releases!
Ya know, I barely shop on Amazon anymore, I should go ahead and cancel that…

Prime is pretty shit but Disney is a steaming pile of shit too. I honestly don’t know which is worse.
I only use them both on PS5 though for the most part.
They need to pay programmers to fix these bugs, so ads.
No, they need to maximize profit.
🤡
This might be the last straw for me to cancel prime.
Their timing is incredibly stupid. If they had rolled this out in like October, people would’ve stuck it out for prime shipping on Christmas purchases, and then most people would’ve forgotten about it because nobody launches prime video because it’s fucking garbage. This timing is probably gonna push the most people possible to cancel because we already bought shit, we’re looking to cut costs, and people will have a “new year new me” attitude to change habits. The next dumbass move will be to split prime video off to be a separate subscription from prime shipping, and then they’ll raise prices on both until shutting down video when nobody wants it, and then they’ll introduce a cheaper prime shipping tier (current prime price) that is a required subscription to order anything from amazon. They will make the product shittier and shittier until the entire brand collapses like the hollow shell of its former self that it is.
It was for me.
I am just going to pirate their content from now on.
Canceled Prime and Kindle Unlimited, I’m off the Amazon pill
Honestly, everyone subscribing to streaming services gets exactly what they deserve.

Yet you still choose to waste your money so people richer than you can be even richer.
The only Prime show I can even think of is The Boys, which is worth a month subscription once a year or so whenever a new season drops. With so much competition and so little content, you’d think these streaming services would start offering better incentives for long-term subscriptions. Instead, they keep raising rates. Baffling.
Agreed. The concession for prime video being so shitty was that it was thrown in with prime shipping. People wanted fast, free delivery and what got them to pull the trigger on paying for that was a streaming service as a bonus. Now the shitty streaming service getting even shittier is making people wonder how much they really care about prime shipping. That’s an uno reverse card if ever I’ve seen one.
There’s the next one on the chopping block. It’s kind of great and freeing cancelling all these subscriptions. Just one $5 payment per month to newsgroup ninja and i got everything. I’ve been holding on to prime and Netflix for convenience but honestly fuck them.
Unless you pay extra… or unsubscribe.
Things to do today:
-
Pay mortgage - done
-
Pay electric bill - done
-
Cancel Amazon - and done
Get a VPN after canceling Amazon and download whatever you want. Mullvad is much cheaper than prime video.
How do I do that on my TV? Is that a thing? I’ve got whatever the cheapest “smart” TV was in Walmart maybe three or four years ago with a Roku attached.
Not terribly savvy in these matters.
Thanks
Edit: Looks like I can do it via my router. I’m away for the weekend, so I’ll look into this next week. Thanks again for the idea
Yes Mullvad does have router configuration files. It’s only like $5.33/mo. Also your streaming catalog changes based on locations. Like for Netflix, Hulu and etc.

This will cause me to torrent the Amazon shows I want to watch even though I’ll likely still have access to an Amazon account to watch them on.
Welp… this isn’t very strategically sound. Within the same service, they want to motivate me to consolidate shipping to Amazon delivery day or no rush. Guess who’s not using those methods anymore? Fuck you amazon, gonna cost you multiples of that $3 in shipping you greedy fucks.
I do exactly the same. I always opt for the earliest free prime delivery available, even for just one item in my order.
Fuck their Amazon delivery day and No rush shipping. “Delivery in fewer trips to your home” ? I have exactly zero fucks to give - I need my stuff as early as possible as my prime membership will let me, even if at 4 AM in the morning, because I am freaking paying for it.
And “green for the environment” my ass - I know they don’t care about environment, and I don’t care about the gas tank of their delivery vans.
Amazon Prime Video can go suck a dick.
They effed up back in the day by not giving me a client for my phone or my roku. Wanted me to buy their hardware. I already have prime, couldn’t even tell you two movies/shows that debuted on it.
I love Bosch, but since they made it Bosch legacy with ads I started pirating it. and I have prime.
Portable HDD with pirated movies and shows FTW
NAS and Jellyfin when at home brother
