Support NeoGAF

for me it's not about it being on as a screen saver, more the fact you've purchased the product and you shouldn't have to pay an extra fee to opt out. Or maybe it's a discount to opt in? Ads are so much more pervasive these days - in games, on the OS, on paid services...

IMO it's a discount thing. The Kindle is really well priced, and when they introduced ads, they did discount it.

You can view it either way, but if they got rid of the ad supported version you'd still be paying the other price.

Imagine paying for something in 2023 and still getting ads, fucking lol. If this isn't late-stage capitalism then I really don't wanna be alive when it's actually here.

Cable TV?

Been normal for decades lol

Every streaming service but Netflix is losing gobs of money, including Amazon Prime Video by a HUUUGE amount. They are spending more money than anyone else and having a fraction of the viewership.

Cable? Get out of here, old man. I'm talking about 2023.

See my edit; eventually these services need to figure out how to make money.

Unless you just want a massive Netflix monopoly, things need to change.

Welcome back to cable

piracy is back on the menu boys!

In UK it’s £8.99 and for that we get delivery and the tv stuff.

Am I reading it right that it’s 2 tiers in the US?

1 tier. For now...

Cable? Get out of here, old man. I'm talking about 2023.

Cable as in traditional cable, and for that matter, TV over Fiber, and even mini dish. Yes, even legacy cable hasn't been completely replaced yet. It's 2023, not 2053.

Prime is pretty cheap here in Canada compared to the states but we get way fewer services.

 

[Putonahappyface]

Does anyone actually have Prime for there video content? I only have Prime for the free delivery.

Yeah I'm another one that gets Prime for the next day delivery. It's incredibly handy and for the occasional bargain.

 

[The Pleasure]

Yes. It's called a physical collection.

I'm exploring the possibility of never fucking using Amazon Prime Video ever again.

Apple TV+ is honestly the only streaming platform I enjoy these days.
