I’ll do what my wife tells me to
History is history. They had articles about improving the matchups and for the most part it was a good lineup. https://www.nfl.com/schedules/thursday-night-football/We have decades of proof that Thursday Night Football is a bad product. This is not a hot take.Ok cranky. It’s funny because teams go up and down but why would you complain about the Eagles/Vikings and 49ers/Giants. Before the season that was 3 division winners and one playoff team. You get Hurts, CMC, Barkley, AJ Brown, D Smith, Deebo, Jefferson, Bosa, etc.
Sorry man, if you don’t enjoy it, it doesn’t mean it wasn’t good content
Yup. And I enjoy the stat nerdcast or whatever it’s called. Kinda cool to see them highlight receivers and use AI to show when they have separation.The NFL on Prime is the sharpest picture of any games.The TNF game last night looked amazing on my LG OLED.
Really, the people who have Prime but don't watch enough P.Video to care about ads should thank you if this helps keep Amazon from raising the general Prime fee. A $36 price hike targeting only one Prime service they don't really care much about is better than the $20 increase last year on the whole membership.I like Prime Video and I'll pay extra for ad-free. sorry
Seriously, lets go back to free over airWe've almost come full circle at this point.
this is where I am at. Its just no longer worth itYeah and I don't think any of my Amazon orders needed to be there in two days.Other than Maisel I can’t remember the last time I watched something on prime. In my however many years of having it I think that’s the only show I’ve watched. Great show though.
I don't think Prime is a very good deal for me.
Reacher has been a nice surprise. IMO they have made a mistake in taking so long for season 2.Additionally, I've enjoyed Top Gear/Grand Tour, Clarkson's Farm, Bosch, Patriot, Catastrophe, Air, Reacher, Upload, plus a lot of random movies and kids stuff. I think the service is underrated and is probably up there with Disney and Netflix for most watched streamers in my house.Really, I love prime shows. Jack Ryan finished solid. Love The Boys, Invincible, LOTR, Peripheral (so annoyed they cancelled it due to strike after picking up season 2) and I even enjoyed Wheel of Time, which it sounds likes it’s been better this season. Also, The Expanse was awesome and unlike GOT, I do plan to rewatch that whole series at some point. I want to forget a bit more. I’m sure I’m missing more like movies, but I’d give up Max easily and I’d have a tough time deciding with Netflix. Max and Prime are free to me so luckily don’t have to decide. Netflix is definitely something I might drop and then pick back up when the last season of stranger things comes out.Other than Maisel I can’t remember the last time I watched something on prime. In my however many years of having it I think that’s the only show I’ve watched. Great show though.
agree. love the nerd cast and madden player highlights. Also, its only going to get better.Yup. And I enjoy the stat nerdcast or whatever it’s called.

It’s totally worth it to me. It’s under $12 a month and I’d pay that for Prime Video regardless of how much I order from them.this is where I am at.

I may be the only one, but I have thousands upon thousands of pictures backed up with Amazon, which is unlimited. Everything gets uploaded so it's not lost in case of catastrophe at home. That's worth a good bit to me - a separate service for that definitely costs.Have you ever looked at the difference in cost/time for having/not-having Prime?It’s totally worth it to me.

I order plenty not on AZ and I never thought to myself I MUST HAVE something faster.
In addition, Prime isnt always "2 days". Its kinda a joke. And then it doesnt come in 2 days, how do they reward you? Answer? They dont.

I did this for probably 8/10 years. I only got YouTube tv so I didn’t have to worry about getting a good signal and or wires showing when we have company/holidays. (I used those cheap flat antennas you hide behind the tv.)Seriously, lets go back to free over airWe've almost come full circle at this point.
I tried it. Unfortunately, I dont get good signal from the antennea. Even got one of those motorized ones in the attic. Im in central MA and in between Boston and NH. SuckedI did this for probably 8/10 years.

I can buy an antenna and controller for the roof for under $100. The entire house has been wired for cable since the 80s so it’s just plug and play.
I’m strongly considering doing this soon.

Well that's over (soon).If you have Prime it will still be no commercials with no extra charge. (For now).
Starting January 29, Prime Video movies and TV shows will include limited advertisements. This will allow us to continue investing in compelling content and keep increasing that investment over a long period of time.
I've bolded what I use it for. As someone else previously stated, having to sit through commercials + the dreck games they offer, TNF very, very rarely gets played at my house.Prime is a very compelling value.

Very good point. So Reacher will go from 50+ minutes of ad free content to < 40min of content.I take it the extra cost to keep out ads only applies to Amazon original content. They already show a lot of content via free-vee (think that is the correct name) that already have ads. If it was ad free for all content I would pay the extra but not worth it to me for the few shows which are Amazon originals. Anyone know for sure what is included in the ad free content?
It could but I am guessing it will go to 60+ minutes with ads. Will find out in a month.Very good point.

maybe, and I hope you're correct, but I'm betting on greed and them double dipping. ads + less content.It could but I am guessing it will go to 60+ minutes with ads.

The last hike was announced the end of last year and went into effect in February of this year. The one before that was four years earlier. The rest of the paragraph you quoted implies that there won't be one this year, although it doesn't really make it clear there won't be one at all, but just that it's not happening now.Well that's over (soon).If you have Prime it will still be no commercials with no extra charge.

Hmmm, no mention about keeping the cost of Prime the same. I can't recall when the last increase happened, but I'd bet on another one this year.
We aim to have meaningfully fewer ads than linear TV and other streaming TV providers. No action is required from you, and there is no change to the current price of your Prime membership.
Look at me, I shot the lock off the wallet!Snap paid the $2.99 per month immediately. Not dealing with ads.
Same 3 for us$12.50 a month for Prime ad free.
I use Amazon for 95% of our shopping
I watch plenty of stuff on Prime Video
I use Prime Music
Outstanding value for our needs.
I get Max free thru AT&T
The only pure streaming service I pay for is Netflix which we also watch a ton on.
I dropped Disney Plus for good on December 27th I found zero value in it. The Star War shows ran their course quite quickly.
I have 2 months left for free Apple TV and am binging everything I can on it that interests me.
Had Peacock for .99 cents a month for 12 months....that ended November 27th so they are done.
Netflix
Prime
Max
The big three for us.
Yes, I did. I had no need for any of the "benefits" of "prime" and choosing video only saved me $6/mo and once I viewed what I wanted to watch I cancelled. Free shipping on $35 (used to be $25) is easy to get to and I don't care if it's 2 days or 10 days usually.People pay for Prime Video only? I didn't even think that was an option. I barely watch it and cant imagine paying only for that.
All my pictures are backed up there - unlimited storage. That said we don't watch much on it, so plan to see what it looks like before coughing up more monies.$12.50 a month for Prime ad free.

Yup. I think Netflix is the only service not bleeding money.Everything will continue to get more expensive, and often worse.
