Don't have a 4k tv still so I'm not giving Prime more money. But it does seem a bit Black Mirror, with always pushing the boundaries on the plans, and making them a little bit worse so they can monetise some feature for more money. Eventually they'll push too much and people will leave. Lots of services are just taking it too far now.

    It seems that way because Black Mirror is inspired by reality now. They even did an episode on enshittification last season.
