Yes but i pulled a strat and i've stuck with it. Unit works too. We're like a crew. A group. A gang....a unit and we can't be messed with.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Amazon Music just launched a great promo: three months for just $1. I signed up in a heartbeat.

What is it after that?

$7.99/mo for Prime members, but you can cancel at any time.

How is it better/different than Spotify?

just added Showtime to my Amazon, and I can access it through the TVs running Roku as well... $8.99/mo through there..
Roku wanted $10.99/mo. Direct TV wanted $15/mo..

Basically the same as Spotify premium.

That's what I thought. Cool deal.

Interesting side effect: less tv watching, more sex.

Cable quality is dogshit. Streaming absolutely trounces it.

Turns out Fios was medium bitrate 1080i, Amazon’s HBO is high bitrate 1080p.

Yep, that's the norm. Amazon also has a good amount of stuff in 4K.

and they're good about the experience. on two separate occasions, i've had movies streaming through Amazon buffer for about 20 seconds total. and both times they sent me refunds for my rentals without me even contacting them bc it didn't even bother me that much.

i'm sure the refunds happen when the buffering is due to their servers and not your ISP, but still, not bad.
