    Also be aware that Amazon donated one million dollars to the Trump inauguration and is a sponsor of the Jun 14 military parade.

    Just steal it. If its an amazon original, they will cancel it after 2 seasons anyway.

      Right? I can’t believe people actually pay for these services. Oh well, I guess someone has to. 🏴‍☠️

      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.

        That’s pretty expensive. PIA is far less and just as effective and I’m sure there are others.

          Me too, except I didn’t get the email saying my pro vpn was about to expire, which might be my fault ofc. Gotta check the oarameters :-)

          It’s really good IMO and I’d recommend it fullheartedly, Switzerland has some of the best laws out there too concerning privacy too.

    Fuck them, I’m not paying for ads, let alone paying more for more ads. I already got rid of my prime months ago, I need to stop supporting amazon anyway.

    Nice I love it. We didn’t stop ads years ago. Content creators deserve to be paid right guys. Right!!

    Maybe the next Internet we can be more proactive. Whenever that is

    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.

    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?

    Still less than cable/broadcast which runs fifteen to twenty minutes of ads per hour. Given time, I’m sure streaming will catch up.

      Just a matter of time until you can’t chose what to watch on the lowest tier, you have to follow their playlist of what you should watch.

      And we have come full circle back to broadcast TV

          Streaming costs billions a year for each service out there. Paramount has to cut its losses by cancelling shows, and Amazon with ROP draining so much

    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.

      Amazon seems to 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.
