I went back to it recently. It's mostly down to Amazon deciding that paying them was no longer enough, you had to watch their ads as well.
Well now I don't. I installed Jellyfin, paid up for two years of VPN, and got another HDD. I'm set. I'm all done with asking nicely for a better service so I got my own.
I sub to Spotify because it's easier than pirating. I'm a creature of convenience. If there was one streaming service that had all movies that have already had their cinema run, and all TV shows, and was all in one UI, and nothing ever got taken off it, and it was a reasonable price (say the price of two current streaming services), I'd probably pay up for it.
But there isn't. They don't want to offer it. They all want to be king of their little corner.
