I’m was going to say …. I’ve mostly given up on Prime Video but tried to watch it last night and it was intolerable
Netflix too. Even trying to use it according to their rules, they decided my home network is not my home network. I have to keep using the extra authentication, and they are not willing or able to fix it. I’m really just holding out for Wednesday, but maybe I should cancel, and resubscribe in December when I can watch the whole season
I’m not currently frustrated with Disney+, but am also not watching anything there.
I generally try to stay at 2-3 subscriptions but sometimes none of them are worth ot

I watched just the one episode of Wednesday and came to the conclusion that whoever wrote it had never seen The Addams Family at any point.
It was painful to watch.
AA5B@lemmy.world 10 months ago
The first episode was definitely questionable but once the season got the family out of the way, the fan service out of the way, and discussed on Wednesday, it was much better.

While my kids are watching Disney+, if there is a wifi blip the stream gets messed up. The video starts going into a fast forward type mode and the audio disappears. That’s when I hear my kid yell from the other room “there’s no words again!”
Never have those issues streaming from my jellyfin server.

Wow, how has the support ticket you opened gone?!

Why for Wednesday? What happens then?
frenchfryenjoyer@lemmings.world 10 months ago
Awesome, now piracy can also double!
No1@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Pray I do not double them again.
Literally, ad ifinitum

Farewell Amazon videos. Oh, and I’m trying to do all my shopping NOT on Amazon. Fuck bezos, trump, and all the other orange butthole sucking fat cats.
Sofapunk@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I have been cancelling subscriptions to Trump supporting companies since January. I was on a yearly sub with Amazon.
Thanks for the reminder to cancel…
… cancelled.
mesitoispro@ttrpg.network 10 months ago
It will never end.
Everyone subscribing to this is a useful idiot and I do not respect them.

Just renewed proton vpn yesterday (didn’t get any mails or anything, it just popped a box out of nowhere), had that sweet 3 year deal running out 🥲. Its some cash (a hundred something for 2 years) but I’m trying to do my honest work.jpg.
NWIBiHigh@lemmy.world 10 months ago
That’s pretty expensive. PIA is far less and just as effective and I’m sure there are others.
Liberal_Ghost@lemmy.zip 10 months ago
I use Proton VPN, and their mail and password service. It has all worked flawlessly so far
Schlemmy@lemmy.ml 10 months ago
You guys get ads on Prime?
mesitoispro@ttrpg.network 10 months ago
It’s part of the humiliation ritual.
Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
You guys got Prime?
Schlemmy@lemmy.ml 10 months ago
Yeah, and I don’t get why. I don’t pay for it. Got it once and cancelled it but somehow the account is still active.
D_C@lemm.ee 10 months ago
Nope.
Yaar, I’ve not had any streaming services for a good few years now. Shiver me timbers, matey!!macaw_dean_settle@lemmy.world 10 months ago
No, a good adblocker takes care of that.
Schlemmy@lemmy.ml 10 months ago
I think we just don’t get them in the EU. With our without adblocker
uberdroog@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I just today canceled Prime and their 27% credit card. I cant wait to hate on spaceballs 2.
Jaberw0cky@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Good thing I cancelled prime along with all my subscriptions and accounts with US companies just after Trump was elected.
mesitoispro@ttrpg.network 10 months ago
You shouldn’t have given them your money in the first place.
Philzlaus@lemmy.world 10 months ago
You are right, better late than never.
W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 10 months ago
I cancelled the moment they put ads in the plan I had been paying for. Don’t miss it for a second. Not even prime shipping.
lukaro@lemmy.zip 10 months ago
I noticed paramount+ was included in a subscription service my wife has. I setup an account, loaded the app found a show to watch. Made it threw 3 episodes decided to pirate the show instead because the commercials were to annoying.
Bwaz@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Glad I cancelled Prime some time ago. Haven’t missed it and I usually get free shipping anyway by buying elsewhere. I’ll even pay more to avoid Amazon.

Are you me? (I don’t mean name wise)

+100% ads --> -100% amazon purchases

CalipherJones@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I worry the average person has no idea how to torrent.
throwawayacc0430@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
To be fair, when I first got access to the internet as a kid, I also didn’t know.
It look me like a couple years of being tired of shitty ad-ridden streaming sites and digging through the internet before I even heard of The Pirate Bay and Torrents (Thanks to r/piracy btw 😎)
tempest@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
The average person doesn’t even have a proper computer anymore. I guess you’re can still torrent on your phone but I’ve not tried it.
WeUnite@lemm.ee 10 months ago
Amazon funded Trump’s inauguration, they’ve doubled their advertisements, they mistreat their warehouse workers, for people who don’t use Amazon often you’re paying more money than you’d spend on just paying for shipping on the occasion you need fast shipping or if you don’t need fast shipping you can still get free shipping if your order is more than the threshold which I think depends on your account might be $25 or $35.
Given all these things I really hope no one is subscribing to Amazon prime. I’d highly recommend anyone who uses Amazon prime to cancel it. Being shown advertisements on something you’re paying for is insane. This should be the final straw for any Amazon Prime customer.
Bongles@lemmy.zip 10 months ago
Mine ended on the 5th, i didn’t renew it. It’s the first time since i got it that I didn’t but everything’s chinese rebranded shit there now and the shows are better if i torrent them.

And I double my piracy. Checkmate, corporations.
dan1101@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Also be aware that Amazon donated one million dollars to the Trump inauguration and is a sponsor of the Jun 14 military parade.
DeathsEmbrace@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Piracy, pirate and remember if you want to be free then a pirates life is the life for me.

RevolverSly@lemmy.world 10 months ago
That’s why I cancelled my Prime subscription. After that, Amazon randomly re started my Prime subscription, twice; that’s why I deleted my Amazon account.
melsaskca@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
I’ll be quitting after my wife finishes her series. I had noticed it is getting worse. Plus, unless I screwed up somehow, that $2.99 no-adverts charge appeared without any action on our part. We cancelled and went back to the cheaper version. It really bugs me that a company making money hand over fist finds it necessary to fuck their customers over unless they pay even more.
sturmblast@lemmy.world 10 months ago
It should be illegal to do what these companies are doing.
insomniac@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
Amazon send you randomly start subscriptions. And then you think you’re crazy and did something stupid but I’m pretty sure they’re just evil. I have been subscribed to Audible multiple times and I have never listened to an audiobook in my life.
bieren@lemmy.zip 10 months ago
Just steal it. If its an amazon original, they will cancel it after 2 seasons anyway.
rodneyck@piefed.social 10 months ago
Right? I can't believe people actually pay for these services. Oh well, I guess someone has to. 🏴☠️
RedditIsDeddit@lemmy.world 10 months ago
that’s why I stopped watching prime video movies
Mondez@lemdro.id 10 months ago
Pirated content of course has no advertising in it, so it makes sense to pay good money for a service that has adverts in it or how else am I going to learn about all those fabulous products I just have to buy?
Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
They’re doing you a service, really, when you think about it. Out of the goodness of their hearts.

And it’s never been better with Stremio plus a Debrid service. App has a much more user friendly interface than that Prime trash.
