Yet another example of people who pay for the content getting shafted while pirates are better off.

Yeah, been thinking about canceling my Prime membership for a while now. Thanks for the tipping point Amazon!

Same.

First they increase prices for content I don’t watch - Live and Sports. Next, I found out they don’t allow Amazon Whole Foods employees to wear BLM masks if they want, and now increasing prices again to avoid ads.

Meanwhile, I was able to get a Walmart+ membership (on sale) for $50/year, and their prices are very competitive with Amazon, which comes with Free shipping and Paramount+ subscription, as well as other perks.

It was a no-brainer.

Badass I didn’t know about the paramount subscription. Costco really needs to get in on the game too because we have a membership there as well, but bulk toilet paper and family size cereal only gets you so far.

I know you’re probably joking but I recently picked up a 4TB WD Red Plus for $70… the drive isn’t perfect but that price blew my mind, great for storing simple media.
