Cable is starting to look reasonable with all the subscription services and ads out there now

I'm surprised this didn't happen sooner.
A year of prime costs about the same, or less, than every other ad free streaming service and prime video is only one of its benefits.
i stopped using amazøn years ago. shop local & stop killing the economy. it's just gonna get worse the more money you give them
I agree but I can’t really afford to. My local hardware store is great but their prices are higher than big box hardware stores or amazon on many items. For example I replaced an outdoor GFCI outlet that cost $25 local or $18 from big box hardware or amazon. The outlet cover was $10 local or $5 anazon.
It's the same where I live. Do I shop local and spend 2-5 times more for the item or buy it from lowes or Walmart? The kicker is that it is sometimes even the exact same brand and model item.

"Commercials in movies and series will be introduced in the U.S., UK, Germany, and Canada in early 2024, followed by France, Italy, Spain, Mexico, and Australia later in the year."
So rest of the world is safe from this at least until 2025?
This is one of the reasons I say no to DRM
I wonder what their reason for cable-cutting will be now.
Just cancelled my prime membership. The movie offer was rather boring tbh, and I get more interesting series elsewhere.
