I only get Prime because it came with the subscription to order things offline

Ditto.

I liked Jack Ryan S1, and Carnival Row, but the only thing I’m looking forward to is WoT.

I do like the shipping but I’m debating it’s worthwhileness as of late.

It's my favorite. They have the best original content. And I watch the Sopranos like the kids watch The Office and Friends. The Sopranos is the greatest of all time, and like an old friend.

Interesting that it's considered a "failure" up next to Disney+. But that's not fair. First, Disney Plus is a lot cheaper and has the kid angle. For kids who watch their favorites over and over, it's hard to beat. I'm not so interested in Marvel and have all the star wars stuff on media.

I have subscribed to Disney long enough to watch The Mandalorian. But the content doesn't turn over often enough to keep me.

Netflix in the era of House of Cards was a contender. Back then, almost everything Netfix did as original content was ambitious and of high quality.

Now they shovel as much shite as the regular networks (and I get it, that's who they're competing with now).

Amazon Prime is a nice bonus with the free shipping. They get a pass. The Boys was freakin' awesome.

The interface is fine.


I don’t know about that, IMO it’s right there with Disney+ as far as bugging out and lagging out is concerned. The content is great but the app needs work.

It ain't what it used to be. The 2 day shipping...more often isn't.

When I've gone without it, though, I'm convinced they delay your order arbitrarily. I always thought Prime just meant a difference in shipping priority. But it seems they even include a seemingly artificially delay in just boxing/fulfilling your order.

I've gone back and forth. Canceling, but ending up renewing around Christmas time. Not the slam dunk value it used to be now that it's 120 or whatever.

I had HBO before they had Max so I guess I got grandfathered into their streaming service

The Boys, Bosch, Invincible, are awesome as far as Amazon originals are concerned but Amazon’s original material is still level 3 in my mind behind Netflix and HBO.

Wish it had more 4K content. Especially for the cost per month.
