      I’ve been on three, and Prime’s decision to have ads on a paid for service has seen me cancel that.

      Swapped it for a VPN and went on a smash and grab of all the stuff that hasn’t been on streaming for the last few years, and frankly, the others are on borrowed time now as well. Mike Flanagan is almost single-handedly keeping my Netflix subscription alive.

        Freebee on Prime is the absolute worst. They don’t even offer the OPTION to pay more to not have ads on Prime videos.

        I’m already paying for Prime, so I fell 100% justified in pirating ANY content they throw ads onto.

          Yeah, I watched a couple of things on it and the ad was like 30 second at the start only.

          Then I watched more and it just started shoving them in wherever so I gave up on it. Fuck them.

        K thats not like a silver bullet, is it? I feel like thats sort of orthogonal even tho in letter you may be able to access all the shit. We need like a “Beeper” app for streaming services or something, I dunno

          Stremio is kinda beeper for streaming. In stock config you can search a show ir movie and itl show where it’s available and has links to the right app if you have them installed.

          Or you can install some plugins to sail the seas.

              Yeah the plugins are mainly there to provide a harbor for your ship.

              Best part is that you can download the app from the playstore and the plugins are available trough the app without any external site.

          With a VPN you can torrent shows/movies as soon as they’re out on streaming. How is it not a silver bullet?
