IHaveTwoCows,

Why??! Amazin makes money already!! We’ve already paid for this!

nulluser,

Enshitification

cjsolx,

Why, more money of course.

themajesticdodo,

Oh no. Did Amazon treat you poorly? Damn. I bet you thought it was just their employees they treat like shit.

Well, at least you learnt something today.

IHaveTwoCows,

Boy, late stage capitalism sucks 😒

iliketurtles,

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

Cable internet? I agree. Nowhere near using all its last-mile capacity, yet.

pyromaniac_donkey,

The american culture and America itself is a cancer to the world. Good thing that shithole is collapsing.

Kase,

hey now :(

BigBananaDealer,

america is collapsing because a company raised prices?

Well, not just because a company, did…

We should have canceled when Prime got rid of UPS pick up for free. Only reason I used it. Now there is zero benefit to Prime with this new stupid ad tier. You don’t even get free grocery delivery.

They’re still happy to accept food-stamp revenue though, if you get Amazon Prime, of course…

collegefurtrader,

Finally! I’ve been waiting for a good enough reason to cancel Prime

spiderman,

you don’t need a reason to cancel a sub, if you don’t like it, just do it.

collegefurtrader,

I’m addicted to the shipping

themajesticdodo,

American. Right?

themajesticdodo,

Congratulations on waiting and paying them for a service you didn’t want?

possiblylinux127,

This is one of the reasons I say no to DRM

Smokeless7048,

If you want a free version with ads they have Freevee. I mean, they don’t have the same shows but it’s free.

Disney hotstar and other OTTs are going to follow the suite, IG. Fuck them all.

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.

InternetUser2012,

That will be the end of my prime subscription. I should probably just get rid of it now, the streams are better quality on the high seas anyways.

Lauchs,

I was thinking the same but will hold on until I see my first add. I suspect the more of us who do that, the better the odds they reverse course.

sudo,

Then do it. You even get pro rated back for what you’ve already paid for the month. Literally go do it right now in like 90 seconds.

InternetUser2012,

Done. Thank you.

HawlSera,

I have a free vpn, but maybe I should go for the paid plans that I can actually use it for torrenting

spaghettiwestern,

The corporate enshittification of once decent products and services continues unabated. Amazons decision to charge for UPS store returns even if the products they delivered were defective was almost enough for me to cancel Prime, but this seals the deal. When Amazon Prime commercials begin my Prime membership and most of my Amazon purchases end.

cjsolx,

When did they make the UPS change? I made a return last week, no charge.

spaghettiwestern,

I had to return a DOA item last week and they imposed the charge for the first time. It depends on your specific situation though. In my case a Staples is physically closer than a UPS store, but I’m never near the Staples while I’m in the UPS store parking lot twice a week.

It wouldn’t bother me if I were returning items because I changed my mind, but when I’m already inconvenienced because of crappy product quality I don’t expect to be further inconvenienced so Amazon can save a buck.

poppy,

I think it depends on the cost/reason of return, and where you’re returning it. Sometimes I have to pay a $1 fee to take to a UPS store but taking it to Kohl’s drop off is free.

When do you guys think they (companies/rich people/shareholders(?)) will realize that growth for the sake of growth is not viable and there will be a point of stagnation? Like… What are they gonna do, keep raising prices until nobody can b uy anything anymore?

sudo,

When it stops being viable. They have no commitment to the company. They’ll suck it dry and move on to the next project.

Streaming has essentially become TV packages again. The golden age of streaming is dead, long live Davy Jones!

bezerker03,

I already have the ad free tier. It’s what I’ve been paying for!!!
