I don't even watch their stuff, it was just the principal of the thing. I'm not really missing prime even for shipping because it's caused me to shop less and only buy if I really really need it.
I was watching fallout when it released, and out of 8 episodes only 4 had ads, and the ads were 30 seconds long before the episode started, and then nothing after that.
I'm not excusing them injecting ads, but at least it's not like YouTube where it's completely random
No. I had prime. Then they raised the price. I was like ok... THEN they were like we need an extra 1.99 or you'll have to watch ads on top of the prime price.
I recommend also not shopping with a company that actively blocks unionization efforts and has a nightmarish track record with climate policy.
I stopped shopping with amazon in 2012 and, yes, it takes a bit of time to find what you're looking for at a more local retailler, and it might cost a tiny bit more, but again.. Jeff Bezos man
