We got it originally because we ordered enough stuff off Amazon. It paid for itself with free shipping. The streaming thing was just a bonus.

I don’t have NFL network for what it’s worth AT&T and NFLN had a spat and they can’t carry them anymore.

I tried Amazon Prime on a free trial and hated it. Every time I would pull up a movie to watch, it would say I had to pay extra to watch it. It seems like none of the interesting movies were free with a membership. You still had to pay extra. It was frustrating. The only show on Amazon that I really liked was that superhero show, The Boys. I wasn't gonna pay all that money to watch one show though.

I have HBOMax and I really like it. I canceled my Netflix to get it. I'm only allowing myself one streaming service subscription.

Pretty happy overall with it you also get all of primes tv programming which is a lot. Kinda pretty worth it for 120 a year.

Cable and satellite are out in my world over 3 years now got tired of all the bs.

Amazon makes you pay extra to watch too many movies. Every time I would pull a movie up to watch, it said I had to pay extra. I hated that, so it's not for me. If I'm paying for an Amazon subscription, I should be able to watch everything offered in Prime for the flat fee. No extras. I have YouTube TV and like it a lot. I have more channels than I had on Directv and it's only half the cost. I do have HBOMax as an extra. That's the only streaming service I allow myself. I really like it.

They have a "prime" banner on all the free content thumbnails, or you can view a "free to me" specific menu if you don't want to see all the premium stuff. I will say I'd rather not be bombarded with all the premium/subscription content from the main view, but it's not as awful as you're making it out to be. Sounds like a ton of ppl have prime, maybe you can get together at a friend's house to catch the games, especially if NFLN is not broadcasting. I doubt sportspubs will have a prime membership to broadcast the games, either. That will be the big suckitude in this whole deal.

It's the same with Xfinity's on demand poop, but they are [BLEEP] enough to drop the "free with subscription" stuff in their free-views. Just the worst.
