I have Amazon prime because for the moment I’m living without a car and it’s fucking convenient. Even then when they drop the new episodes of the boys I pirated it and it wasn’t even some big Grand look at me I’m pirating it bullshit. It was just more convenient to put it in my Plex server. And apparently they started showing ads?
I pirated a Prime show I already had access to just the other day out of annoyance because of their ads.
Yea. You don’t get to charge for the service and push ads. It’s an either or situation. To do both is an immediate disqualifier for me. I already pirate what I want from Prime, even being a member as well. If Youtube premium starts doing ads, I will drop that, return to music piracy or find an alternative less shitty music service, and find a different front end for YT to still get to my subscriptions without ads. I have a sub for the music, but stay for the YT.
It was just more convenient to put it in my Plex server.
Honestly. I probably have a fully legal way of accessing 95% of what I watch. It’s a helluva lot easier to just not go through the hassle of figuring out which one of the 97 streaming services that specific show is on.
Much like the standing battle of trying to read the fucking article without subscribing.
Cancelling Amazon Prime was easy and required me jumping through exactly zero hoops.
Staying cancelled is a mine field, if you choose to continue shopping on Amazon but not to have Prime. Every single screen has some kind of nag, dark pattern, or outright deceptive path for you to one-click back into it.
I forgot to cancel. Used the chat inside the Amazon app 14 days after the renewal and requested to cancel. Gave me a full refund. Took about 2 minutes
That’s fine, but the way I had to cancel Comcast a few years back was to tell them I was moving to a city that Comcast wasn’t in, and even then they were still trying to sell me on mobile service.
Lina is fucking awesome
Too bad she loses her job in a month and a half. Ugh
every time i have a ‘trial’, i have to ask ddg how to cancel it. by the time you found it on your own navigating amazon’s site, it’ll fucking renew on you.
Not that this should be what you need to do, but if you can make virtual cards (Capital One does this, I know there are others too), you could make one for the trial and set it to lock after a day or two so when they go to charge it in a week to auto renew it will only work if you’ve gone back and reenabled that card
I have Prime but I don’t pay for it. Way back when in college, I got on my parents’ plan as a student. I’ve graduated and moved a few times since then. Still don’t pay.
I don’t get Prime videos, but that’s fine by me.
