Prime is like: you know that service we sold you that played movies without commercials? We're putting commercials in it.

I'm like: Bye felicia. I'll be fucked to pay more for data transit in 2024 than I paid before, the movement of bits and streaming of bytes have not gone up fuckwits. And I don't need the rest of the amazon trash either. Thanks for making it easy!

"Oh, and 2/3 of our content is only available via 'channels' which require an additional monthly subscription almost as much as the subscription you're already paying for."

Amazon, you literally own MGM. No I am not paying you even more money to watch MGM content, you greedy fucks.
