'ave ye thought about finally joinin' the crew 'n settin' sail?

Scuttlin' the service be the only language they understand. In addition ye get wider choice o' better quality movies 'n series.

[-] OwOarchist@pawb.social 15 points 5 months ago

Aye, matey.

Only subscription I need is for my VPN. An' that's just to keep Comcast from sendin' me nasty emails when I plunder somthin' they be the owner of.

[-] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 6 points 5 months ago

Know of anyone looking for another crew member?

[-] Shellofbiomatter@lemmus.org 8 points 5 months ago

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

translated form a pirate dialect

Have you thought about setting sail?

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

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

[-] digger@lemmy.ca 10 points 5 months ago

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

[-] huppakee@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

I'd expected him to care more whether i want to continue paying for his product though

[-] ThanksObama@sh.itjust.works 44 points 5 months ago

Ha ha! You pay to watch ads.

[-] SippyCup@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months 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. So that's how we finally cancelled prime.

Also, paying to watch ads was how cable worked.

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

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.

[-] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

I don't recall ever seeing an add on prime videos.

Then again, I don't dip my internet wick without protection, either.

[-] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Vpn? Because pihole doesn't stop them.

[-] Regrettable_incident@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

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

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago

No.

What is doing more harm to the environment is people paying for prime, and giving amazon the money to build more data centers, and to drain more drinking water supplies to cool them. 🙄

[-] oats@piefed.zip 24 points 5 months ago

Search amazon for "shoes, size 13", you'll get anything but shoes in a proper size

[-] optimisticturtle@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

It is so frustrating how terrible their search is. It cannot be that hard to add boolean operators.

[-] lobut@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 months ago

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

[-] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 19 points 5 months ago

Well there's your problem... you logged onto Amazon

[-] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 17 points 5 months ago

"Just let the AI handle it!"

And now they've lost 3 billion in revenue.

[-] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 5 months ago

Amazon prime is the Pandora of video streaming

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months 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.

Gotta have subscriptions in your subscriptions, so you can subscribe while subscribing.

[-] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 months ago

Same for netflix when I left.

[-] Danarchy 16 points 5 months ago

None of these people top wtf

[-] Visstix@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

Yeah the deep is definitely a sub, he goes underwater all the time.

Jack Ryan? Oh honey, you bet I do

[-] roserose56@lemmy.zip 11 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Just don't subscribe, easy. We had enough with Amazon and USA.

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 9 points 5 months ago

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

Fuck em.

[-] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 9 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] 1984@lemmy.today 9 points 5 months ago

Prime bullshit.

[-] timeghost@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

AZ⤵️ Your money goes to pedos.

[-] Yerbouti@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 months ago

I don't have this problem with Stremio.
