Streaming companies are truly sparing no expense to make sure people just go back to pirating shows again.

An update on Prime Video

When we launched Prime in 2005, the first benefit we announced to members was free Two-Day Shipping on 1 million items, a revolutionary innovation at the time that transformed the way people shop.

US About Amazon
@elisse streaming is an absolute mess. And I quit Prime long before this due to the greedy increase of the subscription cost. It used to be convenient for getting household items quickly but now it’s a joke
@aceattveg @elisse I’m still addicted to prime two day shipping but maybe it’s time I try quitting again. It’s becoming ridiculous.
@bearmine @aceattveg In my region we get free next day shipping and it rarely fails, so it's still quite a good deal to have Prime itself. But we don't get credit cards or anything of the sort.
