So the thing prime users are already paying for and already have pay walls to certian content is going to get more monetised?
Colour me shocked.
They are the worst streaming service. They looked at cable TV and said "this is perfect" while being apparently oblivious that most people who pay for streaming services HATE cable TV.
The only thing that made Prime worth it was shipping, but then Amazon decided they wanted to own the whole shipping process and stopped using reliable shippers and brought it all in house and now its a dice roll if you are going to get your package or if its going to be lost, and half the time its damaged.
I order anywhere else now and canceled prime.
It's disappointing but I think prime has the most entertaining original content of all the streaming apps at the moment.
Streaming companies seen to think we've forgotten how to torrent and built a media box...
We are the minority though. 99% of people will happily drop their pants and bend over just to not lose their streaming services. Look at Netflix and their ad tier and cutting of sharing.
The average user is a complacent meat bag ready to take whatever corporations want to shove down their throats. So for anyone capable I highly recommend torrenting absolutely every piece of media you consume, and simply buying a physical disk if you want to support said media. If the media doesn't have a physical way to buy it fuck them, just steal it
I recently realised that my internet uplink is fast enough to stream 1080 to 3 family members, aka meat bags, and opened up my Plex server to them.
Basic PC running Plex server and an Android TV box at the TV. Simple as.
I saw these last two price increases coming when they dropped a billion dollars on the Lord of the Rings show and then again when the show got mediocre reviews and low viewing numbers.
When my student discount for Prime is over I'm canceling. This is the last straw.
