    1. it’s basically fine and unoffensive ui to 99.9% of people
    2. people see it as functionally free because they bought prime for free delivery
    3. People don’t know how to pirate

      I’m deep into the seven seas but I still use prime because a family member pays for it. Its a decent enough ui and has some live stuff I can throw on to keep kids entertained. However, I’ve already added the shows I watch on prime to my jellyfin server just because this change is going to make me not want to use it anymore.

      Yep. I don’t consider it as a valuable streaming platform. If they removed it from the general prime I would not buy it separately.

      I can understand 1 and 2, although, for 3, even though, most of my (nontechie) friends don’t know how to pirate, they know how to look up grey streaming sites like 123movies, sflix, fmovies, etc

      I’m a shameless sailor but my wife has it for the free shipping.

      Their menus are ass but I really like the actual player ui. Love pausing and seeing who is in the scene.

      I can’t agree with #1. The interface is that of Amazon’s regular storefront and it often mixes paid media in with the free stuff or has stupid stuff like seasons 2, 4, & 6 being free while 1, 3, & 5 are paid. Maybe it’s different in the TV apps, but the browser version is atrocious.
