I think I might cancel. I'm not watching ads and I'm not going to pay the extra $3/mo to opt out. I don't know if I'd end up paying more than the subscription cost in shipping though....

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

This year, I bought a Costco membership and ditched Prime. Fuck Amazon.

Looks like Amazon wants to close off this year with yet another rent-seeking episode. Thankfully I don't use Amazon, but my parents still pay for Prime specifically for their streaming service, so this is going to be very annoying for them :/

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.

Are you not using it in tandem with stremio?

[-] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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.

This is one of many reasons why I'm selling my Kindle Paperwhite and getting a Pocketbook Ink Pad 3 Color. Amazon is the Apple of retail, which drips down to even the ebooks. I do, however, have to consider my wife's comfort when ordering stuff, but otherwise, ready to pull the plug on Bezoz and his gang.

It was already bad enough when they advertised for their own shows at the beginning of episodes...

Anyway, I stopped subscribing to Prime years ago, didn't want to give my money to Amazon unless I have no other place to purchase some items.

I’ve literally never streamed a single video from prime and don’t plan to. The deals for prime members and shipping alone save me more than the yearly cost. The instant their yearly cost outweighs shipping fees I’ll cancel in a second.
