If they need more money, they can just take about $2,000 USD per second from Bezos’ money. He makes over $3,000 USD per second.

I forgot to mention. over 99% of all online sales go through amazon. They don’t need to raise their prices.

occhionaut,

Unthinkable!! How will Jeffey-Bear survive without his nightly molten gold enema?

Gold? He’s not some dirty plebian that accepts gold, he wants Iridium dusted with rubies, emeralds, blood-diamonds, sapphires and war-orphan tears…but only war orphan tears from the wars he’s profiting from. And after he gets the enema, he kills 100 puppies and earns a single penny by doing it.

Freevee is Amazon prime video junior with ads, and that’s already free. WTF, is Amazon thinking or not thinking?

Yoz,

How do we access free view? Is there an app?

Freevee, sorry for the typo.

akilou,

Oooo good call. Thanks.

BonesOfTheMoon,

I have never found anything particularly worth watching on Prime. Well Good Omens but that’s not enough for a whole service.

w2tpmf, (edited )

The Expanse. The Boys and Gen V. Sneaky Pete. Man in the High Castle.

Those are all pretty good. Certainly not a catalog worth having the service … But it is a good list to have in relation to the title of this commity. Yar.

Invincible

Anamnesis,

So many okay shows under one roof. How will I ever cancel?

mugthol,

I liked tales frome the loop, but I don’t have prime and only watched the show from a friend’s account. For me it wouldn’t be worth it either

$5 to my local pbs station a month and get passport = the only streaming service i need

variants,

A passport to leave the country?

With this Amazon is taking a page from Nintendo’s play book.

Bongles,

I have it for the shipping otherwise I’d cancel. I’m certainly not watching the stuff on there with ads.

The people on your man o’ war
Are treated worse than scum
I’m no flogging captain
And by God I’ve sailed with some
Come with me to Barbary
We’ll ply there up and down
Not quite exactly
In the service of the Crown

To lay with pretty women
To drink Madeira wine
To hear the rollers thunder
On a shore that isn’t mine

– Mr. Knofler Privateering

voracitude,

I thought for sure this was an Alestorm song, at first. Now I’ll be listening to pirate metal all day 😋

I will totally check out Alestorm.

I canceled Prime in 2021. The expedited shipping is nice and all but it really just felt like paying rent to someone I don’t like nor want or have to pay rent to.

fern2k,

Same here

BrianTheeBiscuiteer,

I paid for 15 days of Real Debrid and other than running into a lot of non-English streams it’s been great. If I can get it convenient to download shows automatically (I’ve heard of ways to integrate with arr services) I might start cancelling services.

This masquerades as qbittorentt allows you to use RD with *arr

Garry,

Are you not using it in tandem with stremio?

BrianTheeBiscuiteer,

Was using CinemaHD so far. Stremio looks nice but I’d prefer Jellyfin become the new go-to app for media so we’re not still flipping back and forth between apps.

Everything worth seeing can be torrented anyway. I canceled a year ago and haven’t noticed a loss of anything as long as any orders are over $35 for free shipping.

I wish I could just get Prime shipping and drop the video service. I may still drop the whole thing.

Deiv,

This is essentially what’s happening, but instead of them lowering the prime fee and removing videos, they’re adding the additional fee to remove ads from the video service

Nothing quite like paying an annual fee to ensure that stuff you can’t be bothered to go to the store for are handled by a multitude of people who are systematically abused by their employer.

catbaba,

Amazon – If you get a pee bottle your order is free!

gigglehurtz,

I don’t know where you live, but around here stores only carry what most people buy. If you want something other than plain vanilla, you have to find it online.

Then take a look at the manufacturers website and see what retailers they use.

Many stores will also let you order items for pickup that they don’t normally stock at your local location. Ask a clerk or again, check their site.

linearchaos,
@linearchaos@lemmy.world avatar

Have you ever actually even tried to do this? All you can tell from the manufacturers website is where you can find a company that carries any of their products. Oh, you want that specific scent of antiperspirant? Good luck on calling all this retail stores that don’t actually have staff anymore. If you’re truly lucky you can search walmart.com for it and then target.com for it maybe you’ll find it. Honestlywalmart.com is about their only competition but pricing there is completely at the whim of their own privateers.

Darkassassin07,
@Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca avatar

I have actually, quite a bit. Finding products and store’s that sell them really isn’t that hard.

The only thing I use amazon for is a general catalogue of items; once I find something I’d like, I buy it elsewhere.

CoreOffset,

You got hit with a bunch of down votes but it’s not incredibly hard to avoid Amazon, it’s just a little less convenient. Of course, it’s going to depend and vary based on where you are located.

I'd already decided to cancel Prime when they cancelled The Peripheral after renewing it. Had I not, this decision would have made the choice for me.

calypsopub,

Right? Such a good show.

QuandaleDingle,

They canceled that!?! Man, they really hyped it up. I planned on watching it. They cancel as soon as viewership drops. 🙄

yokonzo,

Embrace. Extend. Extinguish.

charonn0,
@charonn0@startrek.website avatar

What does this mean for shows and movies that I purchased? Will they have ads unless I pony up? If I cancel Prime will I lose access to them?

Nothing. No. No.
