    Thing is, when you have no pride for your work and only care for money, this strategy makes sense. People don’t even boycott companies for serious evil acts, they aren’t going to cancel a subscription because they lost one show, and TV shows are consumables: there’s always a new one to watch, so people just pivot to that. Keep doing that until you get your blockbuster and you can claim your executive bonus.

      When it comes to shows, I guess I’m weird in that I’m particularly bothered by unfinished endings.

        We all are, but for how many is it enough to cancel a subscription?

          Enough for me, since I’ve canceled all of them.

          I only had a prime subscription last year because my elderly mother used it constantly for both streaming and shipping and I could help her out financially by “sharing” my subscription with her.

          I was too troubled by Amazon’s behavior in general to even be willing pay for my mothers subscription so that’s gone too.

          It’s insane to me that the older generations can be aware of Amazon’s behavior, be appalled by it, but still justify buying everything from them because of the convenience. I guess that’s why they aren’t changing.

            It’s not just the older generations
