As if the Prime Video app couldn’t get any worse.

    I canceled Prime as soon as they announced they were adding ads and I let them know that was the reason. Fuck them. We moved to streaming because it wasn’t cable, now these fuck heads are trying to turn streaming into cable. Capitalism is the fucking worst.

      I’m busy with work lately, but I’m investing into setting up Jellyfin, and the moment that’s running, I’m canceling as well.

      Would cancel sooner, but I’m not the one that actually uses it, so this was the compromise.

        Ditto, but Plex. I know Plex has its issues, but I need stability and ease of use since I share streaming apps with 4 other households.

        Yeah one of these days we’ll crack the code and get it right. In the meantime, how many homeless people are there in the richest country in the history of the world?

        It’s capitalism because they’re only doing this to further the never ending pursuit for more capital
