      If Video is the reason you have prime, sure. Personally the shipping is still the reason I have it. I don’t really use the video service at all. Frankly I wish they’d unbundle all of the stuff and let me pay for just shipping.

    The mods removed my comment with a link to a great free streaming site with the reason “don’t link directly to pirated content.” (great censorship!)

    I don’t see that in the rules, so I guess it’s one of those “mystery” rules they can just make up on the spot.

    Anyways, you can find free streaming sites here: https://rentry.co/megathread-movies-and-tv#streaming

    I recommend using fmovies. Make sure you have Adnauseam or uBlock Origin installed.

    Yo ho yo ho.

    I don’t understand how people paying for prime can stand that crappy prime video UI anyway.

      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

      The TV side of Amazon Prime is functionally free. And its not like I’m going to cancel the service when what I really use it for is mail-order retail shopping.

      So I’ll pirate their smattering of good shows and they’ll tell advertisers I watch their stupid ads. Everyone gets to play pretend and the wheels of commerce will continue to turn.

      I’ve been trying, but for some reason, it will not recognize my HD. I’be reformatted my drive…tried different drives…I don’t know what else to do.
