The bigger question should be: why would anyone subscribe to Bezo’s paywalled garden in the first place?

Who is paying for “news” in current year?

The numbers are based on the number of cancellation emails that have been sent out, according to a source at the paper, though the subscriber dashboard is no longer viewable to employees.

Bozos doesn’t like you looking at how badly he fucked up.

Do Amazon next. I plan to let mine expire. Amazon video is trash.

I don’t think I’ve ever watched anything from Amazon directly.

Seen lots of their content though :) 🏴‍☠️

I always get excited when I see the files labelled with AMZN, the quality is consistent

Even when I was a subscriber, I would just grab the torrent, much more enjoyable to watch with VLC than a browser

Letting mine go. I kept it for Vox Machina, but I will acquire it other ways next season and support the team directly.

Yup, I’m not paying an extra $3/mo on top of what I pay for prime for no ads, I’ll just not watch what’s on your service. Not to mention, most of the filler movies/shows on all of these streaming services are garbage anyway. If it weren’t for my wife, I would just have my Jellyfin server by itself.

If I lived anywhere near a city and not in the mountains, I wouldn’t have prime either. It just saves too much time whereas my time is in short supply and I don’t have it to make a 3 hour round trip run every few days.

Their subscriber numbers have been absolutely decimated by Bezos’ decision.

It’s down 10% which is the literal definition of decimated!

Literally decimated would be “down to 10%” aka down 90% I think I was wrong

All you had to do was click the link and you would have found out that you are wrong.

Decimation means killing 1/10th of a group or population.

CNN talks about WaPo getting a backlash for not endorsing, but says nothing about Bezos intervention, lol.

Was there any evidence that Bozos made that decision? We’re all ready to believe it but want it just one persons allegation or something?

That’s weird. I know CNN is quite familiar with dipshits intervening in coverage, so they should be able to spot it. They had one fuckface bend over backwards to give Donald an hour in front of a friendly live audience with a milquetoast moderator who was able to do fuckall against the lies.
