    So the thing prime users are already paying for and already have pay walls to certian content is going to get more monetised?

    Colour me shocked.

      They are the worst streaming service. They looked at cable TV and said “this is perfect” while being apparently oblivious that most people who pay for streaming services HATE cable TV.

      The only thing that made Prime worth it was shipping, but then Amazon decided they wanted to own the whole shipping process and stopped using reliable shippers and brought it all in house and now its a dice roll if you are going to get your package or if its going to be lost, and half the time its damaged.

      I order anywhere else now and canceled prime.

        I have prime for 70% shipping, 25% automatic photo/video uploads, and 5% video streaming.

        I think the only amazon things I’ve watched are The Boys and Swarm. Both good but not worth a subscription. I also have other ways to get these shows if needed.

        I’m going to cancel mine too Walmart and target have faster shipping, better products, and physical stores you can return shit at.

        Suddenly Amazon wishing they invested in brick and mortar.

        Then they tried with groceries - fail, then they tried with healthcare - fail. The whole of the stock market is wondering what Amazon’s “next big thing” will be. Likely going down the toilet is my guess.

        Too much chinese garbage most of America has realized they don’t really need.

        It’s disappointing but I think prime has the most entertaining original content of all the streaming apps at the moment.
