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

I have prime. I torrent their content anyway as they don’t play nice with vpn.

I've been getting a lot of mileage from this.

I'm proud to say I pirated the fallout show

I have Prime and still pirated it, because the website and app are such a mess

Prime video could absolutely get worse, don't kid yourself.

Wow, what happened to paying for things supporting the product and not needing ads?

You're forgetting one important thing - Bezos needs more money! Line must go up. Always. At any cost.

I'm surprised they think this is useful... if I've paused a video it's because I'm answering the phone or front door, making a coffee, going for a shit etc... I'm almost never going to see these ads 🤷🏻‍♂️

Further justifying my commitment to avoiding Prime at all costs.

I unsubbed from prime last year once the ads were announced on prime video.

There's no reason to have it anymore imo.

A VPN sub is like $40 a year and that lets me get any media I want.

Free Shipping without prime starts at orders over $35. Who doesn't spend at least $35 in 2024?

Looking more like the right decision i made to drop prime last year

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I’ll stay subbed but I wont be seeing the ads, matey.

Glad I dropped prime 1.5 years ago. I'll never pay monthly for something with ads. If I pay monthly for software, it better treat me like royalty.
