Just in time for me to have already cancelled my Prime membership last month. I've also not purchased from Amazon at all since then. Plan working as intended?!
I do have a prime account as do use Amazon, but we haven't watched a second of prime TV since they put ads in the included video subscription.
For some reason this was the straw that broke the camels back for me. I setup a NAS, Plex server and all the arr apps. It's been amazing. Haven't looked back.
I'm using plex but still hosting it on my desktop which is a little inconvenient at times. I really should set up an always available NAS
I watch their content, I just dont pay them for it
When they announced the ads it was just the incentive I needed to quit Prime totally. I don’t miss it. I already was wary of buying from Amazon due to the sketchy sellers and fake products, so I’m glad buying my stuff elsewhere except when I can’t find something somewhere else, which has been rare.
Same, dumped them, but they resubscribed me twice weeks later to Prime after I got two confirmation emails I was cancelled
