Amazon is adding three types of shoppable ads to Prime Video's ad tier.

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

            Your chances of this is about the same as the VPN provider being compromised of not lower.

            Have you ever heard of anyone at all get in trouble for using usenet due to the provider being compromised?

            Hell, most providers have a European endpoint. Just use that if that paranoid.

              Citation on the first paragraph 😂. Both are definitely weak points. Personally I just yolo torrents on my own IP. The only thing that happens here is an angry letter in the mail anyway. Only time I ever got one was when I redeployed Medusa and I oopsed and had public trackers enabled from the default config.

    I actually get Prime TV series from the high seas even though I’m subscribed to Prime. It’s simply better UX this way.

    Our research shows that we can fill up to 80% of the visual field with ads before we induce seizures!

      Pioneering a technique to insert ads into the middle of your seizures so we don’t have to worry about going over 80%

    Cancel your sub and don’t renew it. This shit will only continue getting worse if people continue paying for it

      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 only have it because I have prime for shopping. If they were separate fees, I would not have streaming.

        If you live near a regional transportation hub it probably won’t make a difference on your delivery times. We dropped prime when our “1 day” deliveries kept turning in 3 day deliveries and never saw a difference.

        And honestly a lot of the stuff I used to get on there isn’t even cheaper on Amazon anymore. Half the time if I check the manufacturer website they’re having a sale or have no shipping costs or cover returns longer, something like that. YMMV, you know your situation and needs better than me.
