How about the whole “sure you already paid for a year of Prime Video, but now you need to pay us again or we’re going to ruin the thing you already paid for” situation?
I just plug a really long hdmi into my computer if I want to watch things. Smart tech is pretty awful and will only get worse.
You can jailbreak a firestick but it seems like that’s for third party streaming which is spicy unless you have a VPN. No idea about adblock for official apps.

You couldn’t quit in the Google Play Store. It wasn’t even listed.
It wasn’t any form of subscription or listed as a membership on Amazon.
You couldn’t end it by following QR codes or links supplied to you on Amazon itself.
It wasn’t in your Amazon profile or Google profile.
The ONLY WAY to cancel it was by scanning the QR code, following the link, clicking on a “Contact Support” button, clicking on another button under “Help Topics” that said, “How to end your Prime Membership”, and finally you were taken to a page where you could actually end it. Obfuscated like a motherfucker.

Oh dear, had to pay a million dollar fine… What’s this, a million dollar bonus? How did that happen?

Boycott Amazon.
I still haven’t consented to the 2.99 price hike to no have commercials. I will wait until the lawsuit runs its course because fuck em.
I just started pirating Amazon shows, fuck em if they bait and switch me.
Piracy and iptv is back on the menu
Pretty sure ublock works. Haven’t seen any prime video ads yet.
Yeah but can I get that for my firestick?
