    Cancled my prime because of this.

    I don’t even watch their stuff, it was just the principal of the thing. I’m not really missing prime even for shipping because it’s caused me to shop less and only buy if I really really need it.

      I recommend also not shopping with a company that actively blocks unionization efforts and has a nightmarish track record with climate policy.

      I stopped shopping with amazon in 2012 and, yes, it takes a bit of time to find what you’re looking for at a more local retailler, and it might cost a tiny bit more, but again… Jeff Bezos man

        At this point it doesn’t take longer because you get a fake or broken product so often from Amazon once you complete the return process and get the new one you would have been better off going to the store anyway

      I was watching fallout when it released, and out of 8 episodes only 4 had ads, and the ads were 30 seconds long before the episode started, and then nothing after that.

      I’m not excusing them injecting ads, but at least it’s not like YouTube where it’s completely random
