Prime is like: you know that service we sold you that played movies without commercials? We're putting commercials in it.

I'm like: Bye felicia. I'll be fucked to pay more for data transit in 2024 than I paid before, the movement of bits and streaming of bytes have not gone up fuckwits. And I don't need the rest of the amazon trash either. Thanks for making it easy!
