God forgive me, I'm going defend Prime. I always thought that because Prime was also required for faster shipping, they were willing to explore artistic shows that something like Netflix wouldn't touch these days. People likely aren't subscribing or cancelling because of the video offer, so they have more freedom to greenlight interesting concepts.

Prime shows like Solos and Tales from the Loop probably aren't great for getting new subscribers, but they're absolutely wonderful, especially compared to season 47 of [generic low-budget comedy baking reality show]. Shows like The Expanse, Mr Robot, Homecoming are all solid and Prime seems far less likely to cancel shows before they end properly.

I'm almost impressed by how bad their UI is. It's like they didn't even try to create something useful, but simply shoehorned it into the regular Amazon codebase.

The only service with worse UI is Sky, and if Sky is your benchmark, than you're done.

I pay $0 for my streaming service, and it has everything i want on it. Yaaaaarrrrrr

Paper Girls is pretty good too.

Imagine for a second you were a paid member of a gym, but decided to do most of your exercise outside the gym you just paid for.

That's most streaming platforms for a large amount of people. They're so inconvenient that people will pay for them, and still not use the service they paid for.

A damning indictment of modern day streaming platforms tbh.
