When this announcement was made, I canceled prime. I don't even use Prime video. It's the principle.
I did use it, and the music service. They destroyed both in less than a year, so I cancelled it the same day they announced ads in video. They already had an ad tier, called FreeVee and it was insufferable.
As a bonus, I now don't buy anything off Amazon, since I no longer get the delivery benefits. Fuck that company.
At least 20% of my orders end up being fucked up anyway. It's either counterfeit products an entirely wrong product with the UPC of what I ordered taped onto the box.
I ordered a Spyder Color calibrator last year (about 200 bucks), and got an iPhone 4 screen protector with the barcide of a Spyder printed on the box.
I ordered a laptop and it arrived gutted.
Amazon died for me when they changed from a retailer to a drop-shipper.
Don’t stop there. Don’t shop there anymore.
It’s harder to find certain things, but sleep is easier knowing you’re doing what you can by not contributing.
Piracy is the only option that won't end this way. 🏴☠️
