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…

Tbh i just have prime and pirat the stuff i want anyway, even if i technically have access to ot the “legal” way, because its just way easier to find what i want on the piracy site of my choice than on prime…

(i need the one day shipping pretty regularly so the money isn’t wasted)

Same, I have a handful of streaming services (mostly split with other households) because it’s easier to watch something right now than in 10 mins at the absolute minimum, or tomorrow, depending on the current status of high seas shipping lanes. But I’m not fucking watching ads. I’m paying for the service, fuck your ads.

I just wish they’d split off streaming from shipping.

20 Europbux or 17 Freedollars gets you a Read Debrid subscription for a year.
Tie it into Stremio and you’ve got everything right now.
Tie that into rclone and you’ve got yourself a fancy ‘backup’ for all those things you’ve streamed.

No VPN required.

No one needs one day shipping. And the human toll that Amazon and their prime service takes on their workers should be enough for anyone to stop using their services wholesale.

I don’t know where you live, but this year for Black Friday Amazon workers from over 30 different countries protested over inhuman working contditions. Countries included Argentina, Australia, Austria, Bangladesh, Belgium, Brazil, Cambodia, Canada, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, India, Japan, Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, South Africa, Turkey and the U.K.

And anyway, even if they were treated well, you are still supporting a horrible company that exploits people globally.
