As if the Prime Video app couldn’t get any worse.

    Cancel your sub and don’t renew it. This shit will only continue getting worse if people continue paying for it

      I only have it because I have prime for shopping. If they were separate fees, I would not have streaming.

        Same, and even that is getting worse. I feel like I have to fight with the search algorithm to actually find what I want for the best price. Most of the time, I could order something better from another retailer for a better price and still get free shipping. They don’t even do free returns anymore.

            Yep, you have to filter for free shipping. You also have to filter for fast shipping, or you might get some “Two day shipping (ships in two weeks)” bullshit. And then you have to mentally filter out the “sponsored” results which may not be what you’re looking for at all. Searching for a hard to find hat size? Top result is perfect, has free same day shipping, and is a reasonable price. Oops, except when you click on it, you have to pick a different size, which isn’t available in that color, costs more, snd ships out of Mongolia.

            Fuck Amazon Prime.

            Although Fallout was good.

          Just because I have the service doesn’t mean I don’t also have backups some items.

        Say it out loud. We’re both pirating content we’ve paid for. What a dumb system.

        I’ve done the same with Netflix for years and previously had the 4 streams 4k plan up until they implemented their bullshit password sharing rules. Now I have the $6.99 plan and only keep it because my MIL babysits for us and likes to watch all the K dramas on there.

      I deleted my Amazon account a couple years ago and haven’t looked back. Everyone has their own needs, but I’m just letting you know: it can be done!

      I don’t pay for prime for the video though, I do it because 10 members of my family like the 2 day shipping lol the video is just icing that we honestly rarely use. Just “The Boys” and “Clarksons Farm” really
