This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.

I'd forgotten they were gonna start doing this. I've got Amazon for the shipping there video has always been leaking. I use it maybe twice a year. They're probably trying to delay a price increase to Amazon and increase revenue.
My membership is up in a week or so. I was looking into the Walmart equivalent as a replacement, but they've proven to be even worse. I don't know where to go from here.
I'm not a daily Amazon user. Maybe one or two orders per month. But when I need those things, they can be tough to find at brick and mortar.
You can cancel Prime and keep your Amazon account. A lot of stuff still ships for free on orders of more than $25.
My parents still watch cable and the odd time I've seen an ad for some other service advertised as only 12/mo with ads or something like that. Is that supposed to sound good to anyone. All these shit corporations need to get fucked.
FFS, at least give me some quality programming for once.
If the price was slightly higher and it'd remove ads on twitch, I might buy it
It's just dystopic
It's worse than you think. As an advertiser, I can actually buy targeted product placements in shows. So, let's say I'm Google, and I know you recently searched for a Google Pixel. If I pay for product placements in the next Prime show, I can get all the phones to be Pixels when you watch it.
But if your friend searched for an iPhone, and he gets targeted by apple, the phones in the show could be iPhones.
Like the live ads on sports broadcasts. They can change to advertise local business depending on your region.
Are there any videos/guides to set up a Usenet for dummies? Asking for a friend of mine.
In a word: yarrrrr
We have prime because we order enough through Amazon that the 'free' shipping we pay for is still a good deal. If I don't watch any Amazon video anymore, that's fine. And I don't plan to if there are commercials.
Yeah, my monthly coffee subscription saves me enough to pay for prime in four months. I don't really use the video service enough to care.

Other than Good Omens, and Grand Tour I guess, what's even on Prime Video that's not elsewhere?
The Boys, The Expanse (last 3 seasons), Wheel of Time and Rings of Power are all Prime exclusives.
“The boys” and a possible “fallout”
