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.
Why for Wednesday? What happens then?
Edit: the show Wednesday. I'm an idiot.
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.
Wow, how has the support ticket you opened gone?!
Awesome, now piracy can also double!
Pray I do not double them again. And again, and again....
Literally, ads ifinitum
Farewell Amazon videos. Oh, and I'm trying to do all my shopping NOT on Amazon. Fuck bezos, trump, and all the other orange butthole sucking fat cats.
I have been cancelling subscriptions to Trump supporting companies since January. I was on a yearly sub with Amazon.
Thanks for the reminder to cancel..........
........ cancelled.
Get the pirate hats ready, we are sailing the high seas ☠️🏴☠️
Just renewed proton vpn yesterday (didn't get any mails or anything, it just popped a box out of nowhere), had that sweet 3 year deal running out 🥲. Its some cash (a hundred something for 2 years) but I'm trying to do my honest work.jpg.
That's pretty expensive. PIA is far less and just as effective and I'm sure there are others.
Does they allow torrenting + port forwarding?
I use Proton VPN, and their mail and password service. It has all worked flawlessly so far
You guys get ads on Prime?
You guys got Prime?
Yeah, and I don't get why. I don't pay for it. Got it once and cancelled it but somehow the account is still active.
Nope.
Yaar, I've not had any streaming services for a good few years now. Shiver me timbers, matey!!
No, a good adblocker takes care of that.
I think we just don't get them in the EU. With or without adblocker
I think it simply promotes other prime video content instead of product advertisement.
Good thing I cancelled prime along with all my subscriptions and accounts with US companies just after Trump was elected.
Also be aware that Amazon donated one million dollars to the Trump inauguration and is a sponsor of the Jun 14 military parade.
Piracy, pirate and remember if you want to be free then a pirates life is the life for me.
And I double my piracy. Checkmate, corporations.
I cancelled the moment they put ads in the plan I had been paying for. Don’t miss it for a second. Not even prime shipping.
Just steal it. If its an amazon original, they will cancel it after 2 seasons anyway.

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.
Are you me? (I don't mean name wise)
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.
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 can't see ads!"
I'm old, so many may not relate. I remember when the big selling point of this newfangled "cable TV" thing was zero ads. Can you imagine that?
Yeah, I have Prime for the savings on shipping. Got the Kodi addon for watching Prime, never used it except to watch The Expanse a few years ago. Would have been fucking enraged if I had seen ads cut into that. Fuck am I paying for?!

I noticed paramount+ was included in a subscription service my wife has. I setup an account, loaded the app found a show to watch. Made it threw 3 episodes decided to pirate the show instead because the commercials were to annoying.
