    Stop using it. It’s that simple. There are a ton of alternatives out there that cost nothing… These idiots seem to have forgotten that we only used them because it was relatively inexpensive for what we could pirate, and we only pirated stuff to avoid ads. Just go back to our roots, kill their revenue streams, and maybe then they’ll get the idea.

      This, we started getting ads and prime was almost never 2 days, usually more. This a long with all the Bezos BS made me stop not only prime but using Amazon all together. I’ve been using Amazon since the late 90s, back when they were just books.

      You only pirated stuff to avoid ads?! What?

      If something is a paid service, and you don’t pay for it yet you obtain the content then you are pirating to avoid paying for the content.

    Of course. The US is the greatest bastion of kleptocracy on the planet. If you pay for a good or service in advance, a company can take it away or cripple it whenever and however they like with no recourse or remedy for consumers. Capitalism in action. This was never going to end any other way.

    All subscribers agree to a contract when they join Prime, she said, giving Amazon the ability to alter the nature of the services provided under the contract.

    “Pray I do not alter the nature of the services provided under the contract further.”
