Tell me about it. No more movie or music torrent sites exist (all blocked). Amazon Prime includes Free Amazon Music which is a huge benefit. Local radio is trash (I don’t even own an FM receiver)

Since we can’t change things at the voting booth anymore, we have to change them at the cash register.

I don’t care how inconvenient it is or how much more I have to pay, there are businesses I will not patronize.

We need a boycott list, if anyone has a link to a good one, I’d appreciate it.

Can you use a VPN?

That all ended last July. We both got our full refunds and gave them quite a nasty earful to boot!

I had mine by the month. It was to run out for the month 3 days after I cancelled it.

I was never “with” them. Same with Facebook which I thought was nonsense from the outset.

I never joined Twitter but it served a purpose for some interests by reading official accounts. Bye bye

I have some movies I purchased there. Other than those I will not use them again.

It may not matter if, like Twitter and Facebook, the real point of Amazon was NEVER making a profit.


A mistaken belief that many on our side have believed is that free market capitalism would prevent companies from making foolish decisions to out of the fear of losing business and profits. This belief can now be safely discarded.

It is convenient. I’ll give them that.

I’ve begun purchasing things elsewhere as well. Time to develop a new habit!

I don't have one, but if you find one, please let me know. I canceled prime a few years ago after realizing all I was doing was buying stuff I didn't need.

Yeah, but I even got rid of my movie and movie streaming mvix device I bought years ago. And download speeds on the Philippines mean several days for one movie, thanks to daily data caps (on so-called unlimited internet)

I even got rid of my stereo component system as it wasn’t needed. No blu-ray, no DVD player, no CD player. Everything worked so well streamed. Just say “Alexa play xxx” and it just plays. Even Tagalog music. Great for listening to my 103.5 Denver Fox Station as well. Ah the wonders of “modern tech”. The house here goes absolutely crazy if the internet gets interrupted. No going outside allowed due to a strict and mandatory lockdown since March...

Monthly Prime members continue to pay $12.99 per month

Grandfathered.

My membership doesn’t expire until June. So I’ll take advantage of it till then, but, I was about to cancel them anyway. The last several things I bought had their shipping dates delayed, prompting me to wonder what was the Prime charge for.

When I joined Facebook in 2009 it was really kind of fun. Especially when catching up with long lost acquaintances that I hadn’t seen in decades.

And there were other moments (such as a spontaneous childhood neighborhood reunion at a Motly Crue concert) that wouldn’t have happened if it hadn’t been for FB.

But like everything else the Left touches they ruined it. I permanently deleted my account yesterday and it was bittersweet.

If they did not provide bad service do not lie.

That gets you in trouble with the Creator.
