The Prime interface is way worse than Netflix. Admittedly it didn't have this awful autoplay but even continuing a show I'm currently watching is a game of Whe

  It's bad, I'll give you that. On the other hand, Prime shows you user star ratings and IMDb scores which, when taken together, give a much better idea of watchability than Netflix's match scores.

  The thing I hate about Prime is when I start a movie, it needs subtitles enabled, I go do that, then when I hit the back button, instead of taking me back to the movie, it takes me back to the top-level and they've removed the movie I was just watching, so now I can't find the damn thing! They do that when I start a movie, I don't like it, and I go back; I get that. But the messed-up Back function when enabling subtitles does the same thing. Then I have to scroll through a huge amount of stuff trying to find the "Continue watching" thing. Other things I don't like about Prime: - they used to have a setting for "Show Prime only", because I am never going to pay for TV. They removed that and now you have to see all their pay crap. - if I run across a Prime thing that looks interesting and add it to my watchlist, it might no longer be free when I get around to watching it. This sucks so bad, and I was bitten by it so often, that I no longer use the watchlist feature. It made me too mad. I have given up trying to watch TV. I was spending half an hour scrolling through menus of crappy movies, then giving up. I won't cancel Prime because I split that with a friend and we both get the 2-day shipping, and I probably won't cancel Netflix because I have 4 other friends on my subscription, but I haven't used either video service for over a month.
