Your benefits continue until the end of what you have paid for anyway, or at least they do in the UK/EU.

Ha ha! You pay to watch ads.
SippyCup@lemmy.world 22 hours ago
I didn’t have prime for the streaming and hardly used it. Until Christmas when I just wanted Christmas bullshit on in the background and prime decided to cut in mid sentence to run an obnoxiously loud ad.
Also, paying to watch ads was how cable worked.

Amazon gives out free prime all the time.
I think I’ve had 2 one month free primes, and 1 free week of prime, so far this year. Of course I take it, and burden their servers by leaving shit streaming as often as I can.

with absolutely no return on investment for them.
They show ads unless you pay for the super plus version of Prime. So by streaming they get ad revenue from the companies advertising even if you don’t watch the ads. The companies pay for the ads by increasing the price of what they sell- and they don’t sell only on Amazon but everywhere.
So when you buy a bag of chips at the local store, some of that money is going to Amazon because you had their streaming on.

Isn’t that doing more harm to the environment than you then? I appreciate the sentiment tho

The whole app is a mess.
- You can tell it you don’t like something, and it will continue to suggest it under “We think you’ll like”.
- You can hide a series or a movie, and it will pop up again a day later in suggestions a if you didn’t do a damned thing.

The thumbs don’t matter to Bezos. Just like the rest of your opinions.

It’s all algorithms driving engagement and a thumbs down is engagement.

And now they’ve lost 3 billion in revenue.

Fuck Amazon anyway, but I used to use it when I was mooching off a friend’s prime subscription and I gotta say, this is probably a bug not intentional. Whole interface was nothing but bugs.

Search amazon for “shoes, size 13”, you’ll get anything but shoes in a proper size
optimisticturtle@lemmy.world 18 hours ago
It is so frustrating how terrible their search is. It cannot be that hard to add boolean operators.

I haven’t used Amazon in such a long time but I figured they would have made it better with LLMs and stuff.

Just don’t subscribe, easy.

When Amazon started putting ads on prime, I immediately stopped watching prime forever.
Fuck em.

Amazon prime is the Pandora of video streaming
A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 22 hours ago
Nah, its the Hydra of streaming.
You subscribe, thinking you’ve won, and you just have 9 other things pop up to have to subscribe to under prime to actually watch what you want to watch.

Since they stopped letting me watch in HD in Mozilla and they won’t let me install Prime app because I don’t have Edge, they left me with no choice but to fully move to Jellyfin.
They set up the whole system so that people have no choice but to pirate stuff. They literally blocked all the ways for me to watch HD content on a PC.
I’m halfway setting up the Arr stack.

Why are you surprised? Movies as a whole have been dogshit for too long now. Just look at the steaming pile of dogshit that won best picture last year.

Canceling the service is the only language they understand.
In addition you get wider choice of better quality movies and series.

1337x is still working and seems to have most stuff and fitgirl for games. Though might need a VPN from time to time.

Don’t do this if you live in Germany. They actually monitor this stuff and you’re in deep doodoo if they catch you.
