    Probably for the best. The next time a commercial comes up on Prime it’ll make me question why I’m watching this crap and then I’ll turn it off.

    Enough is just never enough is it? Companies like amazon sit on dragon hoarde amounts of wealth, but they still need to make more

    I’ve had Amazon prime for a while but I’ve never used the streaming service. This just gives me a good reason to stop using a prime completely though.

    Too bad they have nothing good anymore. Gone are the days of fantastic shows like the Americans and Mozart in the City.

    Amazon Toilet is what they should call their streaming service.

      Even when they had good stuff, their service was garbage. I tried it once and they list all their shows, but you had to click on one to find out it’s not available in your country

    So the company that no longer can offer two-day prime shipping on most items, has missed their delivery estimates 4 times for me this year, and is often more expensive than local retailers wants to eliminate one of the only value added services to the increasingly costly and useless Prime.

    Good luck with that……

    It’s already £95 per year and I only use the next day delivery and the TV. I’m not sure that I want to pay another £30 or so to maintain the ad free service that I currently have. I certainly don’t want to watch adverts.

    I could do with cutting my TV services back as I have too many and I probably use Prime video less than the others due to the awful UI.
