    Mark my words…Amazon is going to experiment with tiering off Prime programs like cable. Want “The Boys?” or “Invincible?” That’s the extra tier.

      Meanwhile, I’m over here, keeping my money and watching whatever TF I want in higher def and no ads — for free. Fuck you, Amazon.

      I would prefer this if they made the core shipping product (the only part I actually care about) cheaper. I’ve never liked their bundled approach. But it looks like they’re just going to increase the cost of everything else instead.

        I would prefer they brought back the actual shipping part. Not this $169/yr for “best effort 3-10 days depending on our mood” they want me to pay for.
