The move by Amazon to increase prices of Prime seems to me to be a negative move.

Now I’m not saying the increase hurts me financially or anything but it forces people to make a decision where there wasn’t one before.

With a few seconds of though it is easy to see that what we are paying for is their Amazon Prime Video, because there is no change or update to the Prime delivery services.

So now you have to think...

“Is Prime Video worry this increase?”

I don’t know about you, but personally I see Prime Video as a “me-too” product that adds little or no value.

I’ll keep Prime because I order a lot of shit, but others without this frequency of purchase may decide to leave.

Seems like forcing people to make this decision may not be a good move for Amazon.

    Unfortunately the prime video collection and search functionality is not at all good.

    @rookiemaverick Totally agree. And because the subscription is connected to Prime it seems like a great way for Amazon to convince themselves the service is a success.

    “Wow, we have 100,000,000 Prime Video members!!! Wooh”

    When about a dozen actually used the service for more than an hour. Hahaha

    Classic enterprise move

    It's still $10 a month. Lots of people have something about them they consistently spend money on. Smoking, lotto tickets, a coffee everyday, ect.

    Cutback just slightly on that and there's the extra few dollars you need.

    @leanrob It's true... If you can't afford going from $8.25 to $10 a month, then you need to probably just cancel your service to begin with. Like not trying to be a dick, but Prime shouldn't be something you're prioritizing at that point.

    @leanrob Ever thought about providing actual arguments for your opinion or nah? Feel free to stop with the "little dude" bullshit at any point in time now. Being a condescending ass doesn't make you any bigger of man.

    I hear you guys are working on a feature to block selected people from commenting on your rants?

    When that functionality is written I would be happy to test it for you starting with the commenter above.

    I enjoy devRant but would love to stop argumentative children from picking fights in the comment section.

    For now I will continue to dismiss them as politely as possible and move on.

    Cheers

    Kek, OP is offended because someone used logic. It was not even something stupid or offensive.
