The only reason I have Amazon Video is because of Prime.
I got a Prime membership years ago to get low-cost fast shipping and at that time, Netflix was far superior to Prime Video. As it's gone up in price, I can justify that because I also get streaming movies & music (although I keep forgetting about the music). All in all it's a good enough deal to the point where I honestly don't even know how much I'm paying for it anymore.
- foobarian 3y agoI like Prime Video because it provides a subscription dashboard with a grid of other video streaming services and buttons to cancel or restart subs. So I sub to one at a time and rotate.
- hedora 3y agoI do the same. (This further depresses the revenue of their competitors though, so it reinforces my point about it being an anti-competitive business model.)
- rickydroll 3y agoyou can also cancel individual services too. For example, I'm canceling Disney plus. I may turn on for a month or two next year to catch up on the new movies but I need to cancel it pretty quickly afterwards. I subscribed to Paramount plus to catch up on Star Trek. When the season is done, it goes away. enough people do this, and then the streaming services will try to fix that by insisting on long-term contracts for short-term life for the content on the service. At which point, it is not worth subscribing.
- readthenotes1 3y agoIf it weren't for a family member using my Netflix account that begs me to keep it, I would have canceled it long ago. Occasionally, I play the Netflix game. I lose so often that I'm surprised when I win and find something I want to watch. Infinite LaGrange and BG3 are much more entertaining games...
