eh, I don't really care. It's a gimme with prime. TBH I rarely watch anything on it. The only thing I'm watching right now is the current season of Reacher.

I only watched grand tour anyway, but I can't cancel it since my mother loves the frees shipping.
Fortunately a VPN is like 30 quid a year. Jellyfin and Radarr are my jam now.
I've kept Netflix and Disney+ for now. I was looking to cancel one for a while, and Amazon made that an easy choice. There's fucking nothing on it at the best of times.
The only reason I still have Prime Video is because of a super weird bug where it tries to charge an already expired card. Somehow, it doesn't register as expired and I can just "renew" it every month
The only reason I ever had Prime was free shipping, then I realized as soon as I bundled my orders to be over a certain dollar figure I STILL got free shipping, I kicked Prime to the curb.
You can even get a free week of prime for 2 dollars by just not giving-in which you can then immediately cancel and get ovre and over and over and over again.
How would they show ads to me if I don't use their services?
The TV side of Amazon Prime is functionally free. And its not like I'm going to cancel the service when what I really use it for is mail-order retail shopping.
So I'll pirate their smattering of good shows and they'll tell advertisers I watch their stupid ads. Everyone gets to play pretend and the wheels of commerce will continue to turn.
Lol time to unprime
Honestly. I'm surprised they haven't done this sooner. Prince video is included with a normal prime subscription. So, with some of the originals they've produced and paying for the rights to many movies/shows, they are probably bleeding money with this service..
