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…

pyromaniac_donkey,

I still dont understand the need of people who watch tv series. How fucking empty and boring must their lives be.

FordPrefect,

I can’t speak for anyone else, but yes, mine is.

I’ve never had Prime though. The reason my life is boring and empty, is (I think) because I avoid participating in things I don’t wholeheartedly approve of.

Viewing media, is an insidiously passive form of participation, so I do intently watch plenty of TV\movies (recently figured out it’s about 6-8 things a week).

The rest of my life is just household chores, bicycling, & traveling when I get the chance.
Doing Things makes me feel like Ged.

pyromaniac_donkey,

The first step is realizing its a problem. Dont let TV take care of your life brother.

So real; I have just years of old '90s SciFi etched into my brain. SciFi novels, too, but it might be nice if some percentage were nonfiction? I dunno, honestly at this point I’m just glad when I see media with a plot that I don’t immediately foresee the denouement of.

Weirdly, I watch less TV now than when I had more monthly bills to work off.

I was even doing pretty well about steering clear of social-marketing sites, until SMBC-comics added a comments section directly below the first of four stops on my (semi-)daily funny pages.

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!!!

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.

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

Join !piracy

Nioxic,

Piracy it is then. Lol.

Prior_Industry,

So basically we’re pretty much back to paying for a TV package.

JustZ,

There goes that.

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 😒

i_simp_4_tedcruz,

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum, matey.

WhiteHawk,

Eh, I only use prime video because it doesn’t cost extra, I don’t really need it. Back to piracy it will be, I guess.

cjsolx,

Give me a prime membership that’s just for shipping. Cut the video out of the deal and stop including it in my charge kthx

NightAuthor,

They’re doing that, except it’s getting more expensive for video instead of cheaper for shipping.

kadotux,

“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?

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?
