minus-squareAlphane MoonOPlinkEnglish2•2 months agoPerhaps the ad-free prime video subscription could be a viable option if prime has a lot of your favourite shows and you are opposed to piracy? Not judging or telling you what to do. Just thinking out loud. I would just go with piracy if you don’t want to pay the ad free tier.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish10•2 months agoMy gripe is that i was on an ad free tier. They just changed it so that the tier that was previously add free now had ads. If they had added an ad free tier below my tier i would probably still be a subscriber. “you watch ads now, pay more or fuck off” didnt sit well with me so i fucked off
