I had been on the fence about renewing my decade+ long Prime membership in a couple weeks. The only thing that was seriously tempting me to keep it was Prime Video.

I have mixed feelings already about Prime Video, as a watching experience I find it quite annoying because I'll find a movie I'd like to watch only to find I have to pay another $5 to watch it. With the other services, I know if a movie comes up on the display, I can watch it without further cost.

I'm fairly sensitive to adverts, I really don't like seeing them, largely because I've isolated myself from them. The fewer you see, the more unsettling they are, the blatant attractive factor of them, do.not.want. And anther $40/yr is too much.

Apparently, dropping Prime with the shopping really does not impact the speed of delivery or cost. I'm already often selecting delayed delivery. With the increased prices, it's hard to justify the $140/yr.

I find all the streaming services to be basically chock full of B movies, few that are worth seeing and many that never were released in theaters.

Usually there is one or two blockbuster movies, a few classics from the 80s or 90s. HBO used to be a little better in this regard.

I miss the red envelope Netflix, that was a deep quality catalog.

Pirate bay has a pretty good catalog. So does popcorn time online.
