This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
FYI here is a site with instructions on how to cancel your prime membership since it's not the easiest thing to find.
I was able to cancel on the mobile app using this same process.
If the price was slightly higher and it'd remove ads on twitch, I might buy it
There is no change to the current price of your Prime membership. We will also offer a new ad-free option for an additional $2.99 per month* that you can sign up for here.
Then there is a price change you damn dimwit, you just gave the shitty tier the same pricing as the old normal tier, and amped up the normal tier by $3.00. I absolutely hate the wording for this, you just know it was to be able to not release the ad membership at a lower price.
Other than Good Omens, and Grand Tour I guess, what's even on Prime Video that's not elsewhere?
“The boys” and a possible “fallout”
It's mind boggling to see the volume of content Amazon has produced that nobody cares about. Rings of Power was $89 million per episode. Citadel was $42 million per episode. There are solutions other than, "Higher fees".
But Upload and The Boys are pretty good.
*unless you're not a customer
I've already canceled my Amazon prime subscription. I'm just waiting for it to expire in March
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..
You make it sound like a savvy business decision to double dip with subscriptions and ads. They choose to give it away with prime to get market share from Netflix. All that's changed is they've decided you're ready to be bent over a barrel now.
True. I don't use it. But, it does cost money.
It's just dystopic
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.
