Most people view things, at least initially, in a very self-centered way. They would get killed by a better-than-average chess player who thinks about what he and his opponent are trying to do.
This is a good example. In "My Little World," I enjoyed free content, without considering how such a service could be free. If what you are using is "free," then you are what is being sold! As of August 2023, Amazon had over 1.5 million computer servers, massive amounts of space to operate them, and an enormous amount of communication equipment to move data to and from those servers. Instead of thinking of Jeff Bezo's wealth, which is irrelevant, consider what it costs to pay tens of thousands of employees, pay taxes in many communities, pay for content to deliver, etc. Their data centers consume enough electricity to power several million homes. They spent $35 billion - yes, with a "b", just to construct data centers in Virginia. If $3 a month seems too much, you could always buy a candy bar instead. |

WRONG. It’s for all Prime Members, as I’m not a business member and I got the notice. This was mentioned by Clark Howard several months ago.

People outraged about $3 but roll up to the bar and buy $12 margaritas. í ¾í´·í ¼í¿¼

You’re missing that it’s allowed as a choice, not a mandate. I couldn’t have rushed to sign up fast enough. But I can’t stand commercials. I lose that much in my sofa!

IMO most of Prime Video is so lame and bad acting movies that I only watch a few programs on it ONLY because I can log into it via my daughter's account. If that was not available, I wouldn't even watch anything on Prime. I am lucky if I find one or two shows per month that interest me on Prime, so paying anything for it is not worth it. Netflix is getting pretty bad also. Most of the programing is dubbed foreign material. There is enough free stuff available by streaming that I don't have to spend a lot for the junk.

I also enjoy the Amazon-produced shows such as The Aeronauts, among others. Those never seem to go away, they just add more shows to the list. Overall, well worth what we're paying for it, TV as well as shopping. |
