They just released The Tomorrow War. It's entertaining.
When will Amazon start charging "prime members" for shipping?
- Thread starter GON
- Start date
EVs are now the new tax revenue targets since they've been getting by with monetary freebies for years and are becoming more prevelant on the roads. They can't get by for free forever.
I enrolled in Amazon Prime for one primary reason - The Grand Tour. Luckily for the past two years, my wife has went back to college so we got Prime free for 6 months and then $50/year after that. When it comes to paying ???? per year at full rate, I'll have to think real hard about it.
After thinking about this the only thing that would make me stop being a Prime member is if they took my Chase Amazon card from me. I use it to purchase everything all month then pay it off at the end of the month, that is how Prime pays for itself for me. I could live without the free 2 day shipping by just waiting until I had enough in the cart to get free shipping, I'm usually not in any hurry for the things I order from Amazon.

It's my opinion, but.. you are not missing anything on Prime Video.
It's free for Prime members and they STILL dont watch it. What does that tell you.
Let it die.
Overall, it's just really bad. Yeah, they do have some good shows or exclusive series and movies but so much of their stuff is really low-quality or poorly-done, foreign-produced stuff (I'm not anti-foreign stuff either). Then again, maybe it's just what is being recommended to me ! What really confuses me is they have something from 2018 and I start watching it and it looks like it's re-mastered from VHS tape done in 1997, 480 x 240 resolution (4:3).

I agree with everything you say. What Ivan Drago said in Rocky 4 applies.. "If it dies, it dies."
It amuses me when I am over someone's house and they have EVERYTHING and Amazon Prime Video (as well as others) just sit there, not really being used and the best movies come on YouTube for free.....
Eh... you can find awful movies on every streaming service if you look.
And if you look, you can also find decent stuff...

ah that list....not exactly a ringing endorsement. But then again, I can't find anything worthwhile on Netflix either. IMO, 98% of Hollywood movies are not worth my time.Eh... you can find awful movies on every streaming service if you look.

If that is the 100 best movies on Prime I think it is pretty bad. Anyways, they do have some ok stuff on there (Handmaiden is good, so is a couple of them) but most of them seems to be the dollar store $3 stuff they are trying to get rid of.
I wouldn't say Hulu's list is that much better but at least their list of anime are much better (although not crunchy roll coverage).

Frivolous... Amazon can change the time frame for delivery anytime they choose and us customers have zero input. Don't like it, shop somewhere else. Amazon can simply "un-Prime" items so they don't qualify for the faster shipping times too.
We're still getting incredibly fast shipping. Interestingly, a few days ago they had a banner across their pages indicating that there could be slowdowns due to bad weather we were supposed to get. Also, in the two weeks before Christmas, I did see delivery times fluctuate between 1-3 days and 5-6 days, including on the same item that I was watching. One day it would arrive in 2 days, the following day it said it would arrive a week later.
