Mark my words...Amazon is going to experiment with tiering off Prime programs like cable. Want "The Boys?" or "Invincible?" That's the extra tier.
Meanwhile, I'm over here, keeping my money and watching whatever TF I want in higher def and no ads — for free. Fuck you, Amazon.
Ah, the good ol' days of newsgroup shares. 🥰✨
Back when video games were printed in the back of your favorite magazine and you had to hand type them into the terminal with only yourself to blame for "bugs"? I feel ya, neighbor. My first screen was green, too. 🤌🏼🤓
I would prefer this if they made the core shipping product (the only part I actually care about) cheaper. I've never liked their bundled approach. But it looks like they're just going to increase the cost of everything else instead.
Samesies. Didn't give two shits when they bundled Amazon prime with video and such. Easy decision of my digital existence was dropping prime soon as they announced the ads and tiered payments.
I would prefer they brought back the actual shipping part. Not this $169/yr for “best effort 3-10 days depending on our mood” they want me to pay for.
Probably. The industry is still trying to figure out pricing, and the cost of making content isn't matching the cost consumers are willing to pay for it.
no one wants streaming exclusive content, it inherently feels lower quality, plus making it harder to generate a buzz and make the series feel worthwhile or pressing to watch
Not sure if that counts, but they bought MGM and they've made an MGM+ channel that you can subscribe to for 5€/month, but only if you are a Prime subscriber aswell
I don't think so...I was not talking about Prime originals
Who still want Invincible? The wait for season2 was so long and we only got few crappy episodes. What a letdown.
Season 2 has been excellent so far.
I do agree waiting 2 years for 4 episodes, then 5 months for 4 more episodes is a huge let down.
