The enshitification will continue until there isn’t any cent left to transfer to the shareholders.

Rent seeking. It’s called rent seeking. People keep calling it “enshitification” as if this is a new thing.

fair point.

The Boys was good, but the Lord of the Rings series was horrible.

Meh. I found it enjoyable overall, despite some annoyances.

And I’ve read the books a fair bit. Even The Silmarillion.

I liked The Boys and Tales From The Loop. Couldn’t tell you anything else they made though

This is where I’m stuck honestly. I don’t think this news will affect my life at all 😂

Kind of glad Marvelous Mrs. Maisel ended when it did, so I don’t need to see ads!

Prime is still worth it to me for the free shipping, but I won’t be watching their video if I have to watch ads and I certainly won’t be paying extra for the privilege of not having to watch them.

I really hate the “free shipping” line. It’s not free, you are literally paying a monthly fee for it, even if you buy nothing. That is in no way “free”.

Are you really buying from Amazon more than twice a month? If yes, stop/wait and combine shipments. If not, cancel prime because even at their now-standard $6 shipping per order, you’d break even or save $6-$12.

I’ve taught my parents this, and they now see the idiocy in buying things the second they think of them, even if they won’t use it for weeks. A $4 item with $6 shipping is so incredibly stupid, but now that they wait until they “need” a few items, suddenly shipping is $0 because they reached the $35 tipping point. Even at the ‘discounted’ federal assistance price level of prime (I’m disabled), it made no sense.

That, and they claim you get “faster” shipping with Prime but in my area at least they always manage to fuck it up, so they wind up delivering every single order days or sometimes a week later than they originally promised. I therefore have no desire to pay them a bribe just to fuck up anyway; they stuff I order without Prime gets here in the same time frame 95% of the time. It’s literally worthless.

Wow, that’s actually really shitty. They should have just raised the prices by $24, and announced a cheaper version of prime with ads. Nobody would have questioned it.
