      The fact that Amazon seems to lose very few customers after each of these maneuvers is abhorrent.

      Who else loves the enshittification that comes with late stage capitalism?

      Sell you on a service, then ratchet up the price while stripping the benefits that made you sign up on the first place

      “As it turns out, we don’t actually need to maintain or keep the advantages we have over our competitors because we have basically no competitors.”

      Sigh. Well I only watch on average one Amazon show a year anyway

      It is baffling that we reached an era where large companies actively make their products worse purely for more profit and don’t have to provide any justification to customers.

      I wish we could have a choice to not subscribe to the streaming service, only the delivery service. But they know what would happen if they allowed it.

      Extortion business models, how they all need to be burned to the ground to show this shouldn’t be allowed.

      I paid for the ad free version for a while because fuck ads. I got the email this week with the typical „man, have we got great news for you: we’re making it worse and more expensive.“ Naw, I’m utterly drained from the constant increases and push for more subscriptions. Cancelled, like Spotify and Netflix before it. You can only drain so much blood from this stone.

      Related, I had an issue with our heater, and the HVAC tech was like „you know we offer maintenance plans… for your two systems it would only be $30/month“. Oh good, Yet Another Monthly Subscription. 😑

      Amazon hasn’t gotten any of my money since 2016. I will gladly continue to never give them money. You don’t become that large or that wealthy by being good.

      The enshitifacation continues until shareholder value increases, and then never stops.

      So glad I’m leaving Prime this year. They don’t have enough content to warrant subscribing every year anyway.

      Losing 4k sucks, but at 1080p I could deal.

      Losing surround sound kills it for me. I’m going to need to contact them. I have Prime and a Prime Visa; there ought to be some sort of perk for having things that benefit them.

      Oh be nice everybody, it’s not like Amazon has a vast infrastructure of servers for content delivery at their disposal.

      Amazon is honestly the shittest service I use. Literally every single thing I want to watch requires some form of payment, and as a result I get angry and I just don’t end up using it. I really should unsubscribe but my partner insists on keeping it, but we go through the same rigmarole every single time.

      For those who want to do things the right way I would suggest looking at getting the physical copy of shows you want to watch.

      For me I have no intrest in getting a Netflix subscription but I do want to see Stranger Things and it’s available on Blu-ray.

      Same with the Grand Tour on Amazon which I believe is also avaliable on Blu-ray.

      Got a package recently and it was cheaper to add video in the final checkout.

      Tried to watch some of clarksons Farm and it shows 4 x 90second ads or similar.

      So i rage quit.

      I cancel all of them using 1 service at a time

    24. 18randomcharacters on

      I pay for prime without ads and they’re jacking the price on that too

    25. SaltyLunch722 on

      I actually really enjoy Prime video and they’ve been trying to get people to hate it since they began. This is the last straw. Knowingly suck all value out of a service we do actually pay for – and then go further by moving it backwards in time and technology. Fuck off.

      The money they will save on bandwidth alone is probably mind boggling. But the joke is on them. I’ll save even more by cutting my wife off from prime shipping!

      I only get prime video one month out of the year when the latest Clarkson’s Farm comes out
