They are charging me more, adding nothing that benefits me, and their content is generally pretty mid. Plus navigating the UI is a minefield of addons. Watch this... with this extra subscription, or this but you need this subscription.
I want an interface that shows only what is available to me at this moment.
The "Prime" tab near the far right does that.
It also shows you how lame their content is overall. I got Prime for a year for $15 total and I wouldn't pay a penny more.
Thank you! I actually found a couple shows i started then never finished because i could not find them again in the jumbled mess of listings.
They added ads to my tier when I was halfway through Fallout when it first came out and I was so pissed I canceled it immediately. Downloaded uBlock Origin to finish the season and haven't given Amazon a dime ever since.
🏴☠️🏴☠️Take to the seas mateys!! Yarr!! 🏴☠️🏴☠️
Can't tell. I've been back at torrenting for a long while now. Beats every shit streaming dis-service by far
Luckily fees remain the same in the high seas...
I have been living off Amazon prime trials for about past 7 years now.
Ive been sailing the high seas for even longer.
I'm talking actual Amazon prime 30day trials..high sails been up for about 25 years now. I don't count Amazon trials as high sails tho, since they just offer it themselves, I just seem to figured how to abuse it..same account too.
How? How do you not get immediately flagged and banned?
How is this even remotely relevant?
we're talking about re-using (abusing) the newjoiner Amazon Prime deal by creating new accounts. Except Amazon has to know your name, address, and payment method to be able to ship shit to you.
And based on that it's incredibly easy to find abusers and ban them.
Free media access does fuck-all for this.
I could share, but that would most likely make them to patch it..it's the same account for years, no need to make a new account too. If there is one thing I learned in life, if you want something nice to last, keep it to yourself.
Veni Pidi Nici
Shouldn't matter when the shipping address and attached payment card is the same on each account...
The Invincible final season fee
Puts on pirate hat.
Choking themselves out the same way cable tv did, ads+sub is extreme greed and pushes people to piracy as they try to squeeze every penny out of their viewers.
